Comments:

My first ever 10K and a kick off to the running season- meaning I came into this race fresh out of a 2 month break from running. I did remarkably well all things considered. I wasn't looking to surprise myself with any records or anything on this run because let's face it, it was in January on the lakefront. Even though we had a super mild winter, it snowed about 7" the night before and continued into race day morning, which made the race live up to its name. Loved every minute of it.
What would you do differently?:
