Slowest time ever, with exception to the 20 foot slide down the hill on my butt after taking out both my friend who was completing the 5K with me and my poor dog. I slipped about four times. Fortunately I only hit the ground one time. Frankly, it was a blast...and likely hysterically funny for anyone watching. No broken bones since I still have plenty of padding. But, I have soaked in an epsom salt bath for an hour already as the soreness is setting in. We tried to run. We really did. Most of the time I looked like Tinker Bell with my hands to my side flexed at the wrist to catch myself in my inevitable crash on the icy pavement. I thought I had it all figured out when I moved my jogging over to what appeared to be powdered snow. Little did I know there was a solid sheet of ice under the fluffy good stuff. I wonder if I burned as many calories laughing the entire time in a 5K than I actually running it. The salt trucks rolled through after the race. Figures. There was a pretty low turnout too. So low, my friend and I won an award even when we came in dead last. I finished it and I suppose that is what matters. Almost have completed my second Non-Scale Goal. Next weekend is another 5K. I'm hoping the pavement is clear then and I can actually focus on a decent time. I'm thinking I am ready to step things up to 10K races now. Be careful out there. Once the running bug bites you, it can be a slippery slope.
