Originally I had planned on the Turkey Trot being my first 5K. But I couldn't wait.
So I signed up for the 5K Chili Challenge in Ithaca.
This was a mixed bag.
For me, it was great. I made a goal of running it under 30 minutes and I did it(faster than I had done it in training, though I was shaving minutes off my time). And that was before I thought about this 5K being in a state park with some hills, off-road and even a few sets of icy stairs over a bridge!
Though, it was also rough the last bit. It was an interesting course route. I thought it was going well, but that last like half mile... Wow, I was TIRED and I could have sworn it was more than a mile... But I made it, even getting a bit of a sprint in the last bit!
But, we signed up the whole family for it and that was a bit rough. It was somewhere in the neighborhood of 15F with wind and blowing snoy/icy stuff. Sara was walking with the stroller and the girls and as I suspected, MaKenzie was not happy with it after not that long.
So after I finished, I went back and found the girls and carried Kenzie, but it was just too long out there and too cold. Kenzie was screaming most of the time. And there was a good bit of Chaos in the van afterwards. We did get a few cups of chili though, and we all got our chili pepper necklaces for medals.
