Yesterday was my first 5 K of the year. It was held in Provo yesterday morning. It started about 100 S and University Avenue then went over the bridge over the railroad tracks then toward the parking lot at the Provo Town Centre Mall. Then we went west of the mall and north to Center St. It was a well mapped out route. However, it was snowy and very cold. Now those of you who know me know that it takes a lot for me to get cold as I'm a human heater. The temperature was below freezing. I was ok until the parking lot at the mall. It was extra cold because it was an open space and my legs kinda cramped up on me. After I got through the parking lot, it was much easier. I really liked the route though. The only hill was the bridge. The rest of the course was pretty much flat. I pretty much did it in my normal time which is pretty good considering how cold it was.
I really enjoy the 5Ks and hope to do quite a few of them this year. I like the idea of having a goal that I can see. Running on a track, you don't really see an end but running in a 5K you can.
