Adoption 5K

I ran my first official 5K of the season last Saturday. I originally picked this race because it was a trail run, and I prefer pounding dirt or pavement any day. But, true to form, Salt Lake weather threw us a fast one. A day before the race, the snow started falling. And it continued to fall for over two days. When all was said and done, we had almost two new feet of powder--great for skiing, but tough for a trail run. The poor race organizers successfully scrambled to make a new, road-based course. I approached the race cautiously-- I feared I would slip on the snowy sidewalks and hurt myself a week before my marathon. So I finished the course in 29 minutes (2 minutes slower than I had planned), but better safe than sorry, right?
