First things first, I've got a winner for my Octaspring giveaway! Congrats to Gillian Raymond! Gillian look out for an email from me. Thanks to everyone who entered. I'll be hosting another wee one on my facebook page on Monday so watch out for that.
I'm coming to the end of my leisurely week. I'll be back on the workout wagon tomorrow. I've quite enjoyed the physical and mental break but I'm looking forward to getting back into my routine as well. I hoped to get a workout in on Friday but that didn't happen. Thursday's late night took it's toll on me. But it was SO worth it. Totally one of the best shows I've seen in a long time. And of course there was dancing. Lots of dancing. I'm sure that counts for a workout, right?
This morning I layered up and drove out to Sunnybrook Park to volunteer for the Toronto Women's 8km. I love this race series and I figured it was a great opportunity for me to give back. I knew a few people racing too so it was nice to be able to cheer them on. I got to work the start / finish line area which was AWESOME. Seeing the emotion on the faces of some of these women when they crossed the line was amazing. I remember feeling that same way when I finished my first race. Despite the horrible weather, there was lots of dancing and high-fiving at the finish line. It was a lot of fun and it's definitely something I'll do again.
For now I'll be spending the afternoon on the couch with my feet up in front of the fire, watching the rain. Maybe there will be some cooking this afternoon, we'll see. I've been on a bit of a roll testing out recipes from the new Runner's World Cookbook and I'm due for a good meal prep session.
What did you get up to this weekend?
Have you volunteered at a race before?
