Yep...I'm walking it! Tonight is our annual Torchlight 5k for the Twin Cities Aquatennial in Minneapolis, MN.
Our predicted heat index will be 113 by the time the race starts! We got sent e-mails about them adding extra precautions for the heat. I've been hydrating all day and I feel like my head is floating! LOL! Between 2 weight training sessions,tonights 5k, and kayaking on Saturday, I think I'll sleep in Sunday!!

I'll try and post pics of the race!!

Behind every success is effort...Behind every effort is passion...Behind every passion is someone with the courage to try.
