ARSHS. Early early a.m. So COLD!!! Again, didn't quite prepare for how cold it was going to be this morning. The one morning I didn't wear a tank under my long sleeved shirt! I did wear gloves but could have used something to cover my ears. The track had frost on it but was not slick which was good. I was so cold that I never warmed up. The whole time I felt so cold and just wanted to be done so I believe it made me run at a faster pace:) On the bright side, the track looked beautiful! It had shimmery sparks glistening as the light hit the frost! I ran on lane 5 but had to go to 6 on one part due to soccer goals and orange cones. 4 laps one direction, 4 the other, 3+ the other. Felt fairly good, just cold!

Wow, look how fast you are getting! You are going to dominate Jingle Bell this weekend! What's your 5k PR again?

Thanks Nicole. However my PR used to be a lot faster. That is what I am going to shoot for a longer term goal...It was I think 21:23 min my faster ever. But lately I haven't been able to get down that fast. I am thinking 23-24 min range I'll be in. What are you shooting for for Jingle Ball 5K?
