Stay frosty

Frostbite 5k shirt & medal

Frostbite 5k shirt & medal

I ran the Frostbite 5k in Acworth, GA this morning.  Due to the icy streets, they postponed the race an hour.  It didn’t really do much for the ice, but it did give me more time to talk myself into going.  The race started at a little after 10am.  Not a big turnout at all, so it was just a handful of us winter warriors out there.  I actually think this helped me a bit because I didn’t have to spend so much time weaving in and out of slower runners.  I was able to quickly get into a rhythm and ended up posting a P.R. of 25:12.

It was definitely cold and miserable, but I felt so good afterward.  I didn’t want to go, but ended up forcing myself to get out the door.  Then, to set a new P.R. and finish 2nd in my age group made it all worthwhile.  Yes, you read that right, I finished 2nd in my age group.  Please ignore the fact that there were only 3 runners in my age group.  That doesn’t matter.  :)

The official results are here.
