Brrr....this shit was cold. Luckily it was not windy. The course was alright, an out and back but there was a steep overpass to climb twice which slowed things down a bit. I'm not sure if the mile markers were right but I split 5:05, 5:10, 5:06, xx. It's still a PR and It was really cold (wearing underarmor, hat and gloves, and compression socks) so I'll take it. However, I thought I would be in the low 15:40s range. I bet on a warmer day, a faster course, and a little peak work, I will be able to do it. That day will hopefully be Thursday morning for the 5K turkey trot I'm doing. I'm obviously a much better 10K-10mile-half runner than I am a 5K or marathon. Afterall, my 32:23 converts to a 15:31-35 5K. Of course conditions and course for that 32:23 were near perfect and they were certainly not the best today. Still picked up $75 for my efforts.
