another chilly day for a run..

this morning i got up early to go staff the TNT booth at a local 5km race. as all the participants were collecting their race numbers and such in the local gym, i was kind of itchy to be participating too.... but as they began to stream back in after the race, saying what a hard race it had been due to the wind and cold temperatures, i was kind of glad to have missed it.

went out for a run on my own this afternoon though.... still blowy and cold, but at least as soon as i got home i was able to step into a warm shower to recover, rather than stand about waiting to hear the winning runners in each age category.

i like running in the winter, even if it is cold. i definitely prefer it to the August heat and humidity!! but it does have it's challenges...
