Snowy 5K race in Boaz, AL

Exercise: Thank heaven for snow! Apparently the snowy, cold weather kept a lot of the really fast runners away from this race, The Hospice of Marshall County 5K in Boaz, AL. I was able to finish first overall (along with the $100 prize). Started out with 6-7 young guys ahead in the first mile. They all faded pretty early except for one who I past just as we passed the one mile marker. We crossed this marker together in 6:00. At this point he started to fade a little and I really didn't have anyone pushing me from that point on, so I didn't push it really hard the rest of way, finishing in 19:38, almost a minute ahead of second place.

90 year old Cladus Hawkins also finished the 5K, so there's no excuse for anyone not being able to do it!

Mile splits :

1: 6:00
2: 6:24
3: 6:31
0.1 : 0:39

Including warmup , total mileage was 3.6 today.

Total mileage for the week : 3.6

Total mileage for March : 31.12
