My 8th 5k and 1st race for 2012

Winter this year is awesome compared to last year's. And because of this, I should have more time for training. Well, I did plan to but it didn't happen. Heather and I signed up for our first race for this year but we both didn't get the chance to training as much as we needed to because we were both busy.

This year, I plan to set a goal for myself. I plan to beat my own PR by... 1 minute. [LOL] Sounds very conservative huh. Well, I also plan to chance my strategy like - beating an old lady to the finish line. Oh no, I already learned my lesson at The Patriot 5k. Will not go that road again. This time, my goal is just to outrun the one in front of me regardless of its age, gender and gender preference, color, and size and shape. There it's a good plan, isn't it?

Well, the Scarborough Frozen 5k yesterday, January 8th was awesome. Despite the absence of snow on the ground, the temp was kinda freezing due to wind chill. I was having a hard time breathing because my nose was stuffy. My eyes were watery and my head seemed wanting to explode. But then, I still did it. I clocked it at 38:48 which placed me 5th... to the last. hahaha And yes, I finally got a photo of the race.

There are 2 reasons for why I am smiling at this photo. 1. I saw the finish line. And 2. I saw the guy with a camera. wink*

Over-all impression of the race - awesome.
