21

 A way for me to get daily exercise (#21 on my 28 things) is to set a goal.  

So when I found out there was a 5K in Normal the same time I was going to be there,

I said hello to my new goal.

It was really fun training for it and having it before me.

the one thing I was not ready for was the cold. It was so cold and windy that day that I hardly knew what to do with myself.

I basically just dealt with it by wiping the snot on my sleeve and pressing forward. 

I finished in 31 minutes and 48 seconds.  Not a world record, not even close... but a time to start with and compare to all the future (Lord willing) races that I will be signing up for in the future.

I think I can do my next one under 30 minutes with more training and less wind! 

Midwesterners are awesome crazy people!

Brrrrrr.....
