And the sun is shining...

...in this rainy city! WOW- anyone who is in Calgary, are we in for a treat! The May long weekend in Calgary is supposed to be HELLA nice. Let's all do ourselves a favour and get out there for some runs in between sipping on Coronas and Margaritas!

Tips for running in the heat- hydration, hydration and more hydration- the more the better. No beer does not count as hydration but WATER does. When its hot you will SWEAT so you need to replace your water. Also, if you are going to be out for a long one, replace your electrolytes- Gatorade, Power Gel, whatever you like, but do yourself a favour and carry something with you. It will make a long one just that much more enjoyable.

I am off to Canmore for the weekend for my sister's stagette festivities. For those of you that don't know me, this will likely end in a shame spiral. A shame spiral is that feeling you get after a weekend of partying...yes, you know the one- self loathing, self disgust and likely some form of embarrassment or second hand embarrassment depending on what has gone down. This is almost always followed by a commitment to health and fitness. SO! Enjoy the weather, enjoy the weekend, enjoy your beers...I know I will...and look forward to recommitting to health and fitness on Monday!
