5K Prep Race Completed with PR

I had planned to run in a 5K race on campus this weekend to test out my race clothing. That plan was foiled by 30 degree weather and snow. It was totally inconceivable to try and run in shorts, so I had to bundle up. In my haste to get out of the snow and cold, I ran a new 5K PR time of 25:30. That beats by best 5K time by almost seven minutes. Maybe the cold isn't so bad after all.

On a sidenote, the crying kid from the 10 mile race in March was back with his parents in this event. What the heck are they thinking? That kid is definitely going to end up in the bell tower of a college campus with a shotgun.
