Post-Turkey Trot PR

I almost didn't get out of bed this morning. It was snowing and cold and the last thing I wanted to do was drag myself out of my warm bed and go outside and run a race.. but I'm happy I did =) My dad picked me up at 8:45 and we headed out to McDonald for the Feed the Need 5k. I'd say it was about 28 degrees out, don't forget the snow and wind! The wind was a killer.. so was the GIANT hill at the very beginning of the race. Oh, I don't know if you knew this or not but Garmins work much better when you actually wear them when you run!

Yepp, there it is.. right where I left it.. Oh well, it was kind of liberating to not be looking at my wrist worrying about my pace the whole time. Even without it, we managed to run in 31:45. A PR by 2 seconds. Woot! Pretty good under the circumstances. And once again, I threw up.. Really perplexed why that keeps happening..

 That's me and my dad before the start, we forgot to take an after picture!

It was freezing before the start. There were a couple hundred people, not a bad turnout. And, yes, these 2 men definitely beat us:

See that log? Well those 2 men in the dark blue shirts carried that thing the whole time.. I lost them within the first mile.. hehe =) Overall it was a good, hard run and I'm glad that I did it. Race #5 = Complete! Now it's time to get ready for work..
