This one always seems to be chilly and this year was no exception. I think we were right at the freezing mark when we started.
My friends Erin and Angela joined me at this Atlanta Track Club-sponsored race.

Erin, Angela and me
I didn't think I'd done all that well on this 5K, which is a pretty boring out and back near Georgia Perimeter College in Decatur, but when I got home and checked last year's time, I actually was just a hair faster. Not bad!I was under the weather the rest of the weekend. The head cold that has been going around the office finally caught me, so I didn't get out for my 9-mile training run Sunday morning, and it's supposed to be really cold tomorrow for my 10 mile run. Goodness, I'll be in New Orleans in two weeks preparing for the Rock N Roll New Orleans half marathon. Training hasn't gone all that well.
I think I have to face facts: Three half marathons a year for me are too many. And I really shouldn't do a half marathon unless it's in early April or late March. The weather here is just too crummy to try to train. So I'm pretty sure I'm just going to do two half marathons next year, one in April and another in September and then just run a couple of 5Ks or 10Ks to get in four states. I think that will likely be my MO from now on. It will be kinder on my body. And my heart and soles. :)
