Ice

[beige_alert]

The big winter storm that we had been warned about for days turned out to be maybe 3 or 4 cm of snow on the grass and little to nothing on pavement. With no reason not to stay out, I ate at Noodles And Company and then went to the Pettit Ice Center. The outdoor ice at Red Arrow has been fairly well trashed by the recent rain, so indoors is a much better choice.

I didn't get a time for my first 5km run because I accidentally pressed the stop button on my stopwatch at some point. I did time another 5km run at 14:31, just under 20.7 km/hr. I'm reasonably pleased with that. One does appreciate just how fast the really fast people are after trying this sort of thing. The men's record for 5km is 6:08.78. The 10km record is 12:55.11.

Well... they are only at a little more than twice your speed, so no reason to feel inferior to them! After all, they don't do much else but training... and I'm still sure that they forget to train their brains as well, otherwise they wouldn't do so much sport... ;)
