I ran the 5K this morning, as promised by the weather forecast it was indeed bitter cold. To explain the title of this post, I got a new "PS" which I define as Personal SLOWEST!!! I had no intention of running fast. I didn't even go outside the building until the gun went off!! I had it in my mind to speed up at the 2 mile mark but I totally missed it. I was thinking it had to be coming up soon and then I heard a man along the side of the street yell out "almost there" and I was thinking to myself, we aren't almost there; we aren't even to the 2 mile point yet. Then I looked over and saw a Courtyard Marriot which I know is next to the shopping center where the finish line was located. OOPS!!! So, I sped up with probably two-tenths to go!!! Oh well. It was all for fun and just to say I did it.
After the race I went to Hudson Mills Metropark to run some more. I got my 2010 metropark permit which is purple!!!! The price went up to $25.00, now I wonder if state park stickers also went up.
Anyway, Hudson Mills has a 3 mile paved loop which has always been there. Last year they built an extension which goes through the woods around the park and adds 4 miles. I found out that the extension is not cleared in the winter. It was slow going out there but I ran pretty good when I had good footing on the main trail. I ran 7 miles at Hudson Mills. That makes 10.1 for the day and 24.1 for the week. I guess that will pass for February.
When I got home I took a very long very hot shower then crawled under the covers and then proceeded to fall asleep. I woke up 2.5 hours later. I guess I was tired. I was mad at myself for that since I had a lot of homework to do.
I am glad I don't live where my sister lives! She lives in Maryland and right now is buried in snow. She posted pictures on her blog. She said they got 24 inches. That's 2 feet!
