Another Saturday, another 5k.
Arranged to run the the Jingle Bell 5k weeks ago with Suze, so this morning I dragged myself out of bed and headed down to the Cooper River. Got there super late, as usual, and managed to register and get to the starting line a minute after the start, but wasn't able to find Suze. Because the race was so big, they offered chip timing so it didn't really matter when I started.
I was hating life already by mile 1. I wanted nothing more than to finish, and when I finally did I realized I've gotten even slower since the last race. I finished in a dismal 20:55, so the slowing trend continues. Just hope this isn't how the rest of my thirties are going to be.
The post race spread was great, with all kinds of food and giveaways. Also caught up with Suze whom I hadn't seen in awhile now. Suze is trying to get me to sign up for the Spartan Race next September. Another mudrun with Suze?! Count me in!
All in all a fun race that supports the Arthritis Foundation, with plenty of people in Santa outfits and more runners sporting jingle bells than I've ever seen before.
