Happy Thanksgiving!

So today I ran the "Grand Rapids Public Schools Thanksgiving Day Run". It was a 5K which worked well since my training program called for 3 miles, albeit at an easy pace. Easy is such a subjective term….

It was very cold. They say it was about 20 but with the wind-chill it was closer to 0. I really loaded up on clothes and was comfortable, The only problem is I must not have washed my windbreaker from my last run because I’m pretty sure I smelled awful. Before the race I was all keyed up, but nervous about the snow and the cold. It ended up being just fine, and the sun even came out after a half mile. So fun and a new PR! Would definitely like to do it next year.

According to Garmin:
3.13 miles/24:24/Avg 7:47
Long sleeve shirt + Day-Glo jacket + wind breaker + hat, gloves, smart wool socks. Temperature was a little warm when the wind was still, but when it blew I was about right.

According to Race:
