5 miler report

I never wrote about the 5 miler I did back in September, so here it goes:

The weather was horrific: 30-40 mph winds with torrential rain. Probably some of the worst conditions you could expect for a September weekend.

By the time I was on the line, I was cold and felt a little crazy for being out there.

The race got off and I was fast, it was hard not to be. So much adrenaline and energy just sitting around in the rain.

During some hilly portions of the course I felt really good and passed some people-----running hills around my house prepped me well.

My goal was to negative split the course and I did! Avg'd 7:26 min/miles which is pretty decent considering how long its been since I raced and the weather.

Snowshoes!

Just picked up a pair of running snowshoes on eBay. I figure, what better way to embrace the cold white Boston winter than to go out and enjoy it.

There are many snowshoe races in the area as well, so I'm out running again to get into race shape.
