I ran the Hoboken Hot Chocolate 5k yesterday. It was very cold, about 31 degrees along the Hudson River, maybe 34, but it wasn't too windy & the race was fun. Of course the best part was the hot chocolate at the end! I prefer that to drinking beer like with most post race parties. I was a little nervous at first, but then I settled down & just told myself that I wasn't going to be the last finisher & that I could easily do this. My time wasn't that great, I think it was 31:52, so that's a little more than a 10 minute mile. I can deal with that. I really would have liked it to be under 30 minutes, but I am just going to have to keep working on that. The course was a bit hilly towards the end, but I had to remind myself that's why I have these big thighs, so I can get up those hills & to the finish for some hot chocolate!
Yep, that's my race number. I know I should have some fancy running clothes, but those pants are super comfy & lined. I didn't want to wear my running tights, plus I couldn't find them. Ha! Also, if I had a little more outdoor running would have helped me a bit. I should try to go out this week and get in a long run, but as I look outside I see even more snow falling. Sigh. At least I finished! That's always my goal - finishing! & here's proof!
Hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day! I did!
