Santa Shuffle: Fun Times

   This morning I ran the 5K Santa Shuffle.  The temperature was -2C with the wind it felt like -6C. 

On the way to pick up my race kit

The race itself was not bad.  The first 1.5K was all up hill and it was icy, I was cold and not a fan.  After that I started to warm up and kilometer 2-3 was downhill and I loved it.  We turn around at kilometer 3 and headed back uphill for the rest of the race, that was not so easy.

I finished with 33:50 not bad.  For a brief second at the end of the race I thought I was going to throw up because I always push to the max in the last 50 meters.

Tomorrow is my long run 8K.  My friend had the best quote for winter activities:

The is no bad weather, just bad clothing.

so if you are dressed properly, winter is your oyster!



At the beginning

At the end, you can't tell but I am sweating like a mofo.

When I left the snow really started.

All in all a run time.  Next race, Resolution Run, New Year's Eve.  I REALLY want to be under 32 minutes!

Just came home from glow in the dark mini putt, SO FUN!
