Pre-race routine:

Arrived at the even site early to sign up. Then sat in the car trying to stay warm. Michele and I decided to run this race last night.
Event warmup:

No warm up. It would have helped any way. While we were standing around at the start line, they announced that the race will be changed to a 5k. Bummer. So, we stood around trying to stay warm.

We saw Aaron, Haley and Sarah. Stood around talking to Haley and Sarah.

Comments:

I ran with Michele at her pace. It was a nice run in the cold weather. This was just a run for the fun of it. It was a great way to start off 2007.

Warm down:

Walked around. Talked to Aaron and Haley.

Event comments:

If I were a race director, I think I would check out the race course the day before the race. Doesn't that make sense? At the last minute before the start time, they 'dicovered' that part of the 5-mile course was too muddy to run through. So we stood around for a half hour while they turned the course into a 5k.
