I decided to make this Thanksgiving a bit diiferent and ran in the Chesterfield MO 5k race this morning. I'm just glad I finished. But I was slower on the first mile than I wanted to be. There was too much black ice on the ground and I was very concerned about slipping. I already fell in the parking lot just getting out of the car. So with my right hand throbbing and elbow bruised up, I was not about to do it again running a 7 minute mile. My chip time was just over 26 minutes. I know I did a lousy 10 minute run the first mile, a little over 8 on the second and then started to regain my time on the third mile. But it was exciting to do, despite the ice and 26 degree weather.
