Heart and Stroke Warmer 10km

So I decided to do it...I actually signed up for this 10km not really sure if I was fully prepared to do it! It was pretty chilly out and a few good inclines but I manged to get my butt out to the start line and run in the middle of the pack. There were about 50 participants so it was a small group, actually this was the first race of it's kind. The running route followed the road that took us along the waterfront down to a subdivision turn around and back again. A fairly straight forward route...so my time (not my best but not bad)...1:01:54! I am pretty proud of that, I signed up on my own, ran on my own but at the finish line I was not alone. Harold and Nolan came to cheer for me, it was so great to see them! Nolan told me I looked like I had a sunburn on my face, he was kind of right I think I had wind burn, I do get pretty red when I workout:) As a finisher I got a cute heart medal that has the Heart and Stroke logo on it, I have written the date and time of my race on the back and will add it to my small but growing collection. So I accomplished my goal of getting out and being active plus I ran in the cold which is a challenge for me, would I have just gone for a long run without this race...hmmm probably not! Thanks Heart and Stroke for setting up the 10km Warmer and congrats on raising over 2500 dollars for your charity!
