I write this in the midst of a whirlwind trip from Minnesota to Michigan to Ohio to Michigan to Ohio to Michigan to Minnesota. Katie and I were planning on heading down to Ohio on Saturday, so if I wanted to do the Freeze Your Thorns Off Virtual 5k, it was going to be early. Really early. Much too early for being on holiday.
But I did it anyway. Up at 5:30am and out the door by 6am, I was off. I didn’t do a warm up (oops), and there was a ½ inch of snow on the ground, so my Yaktrax went with me in the 15°F darkness.
The distance was 5k-ish. I mapped it out before leaving, turned around at a bridge over a drainage ditch creek, and headed back. Time: 23’55”. Not stellar, but I wasn’t trying for a PR, so I’m pretty pleased with it.
Thanks to The Boring Runner for organizing this--it virtually felt like I was running with all kinds of people!

Nice job on the virtual race!
That is cold but perfect weather for this race. Well done!
Sorry that I am just getting to commenting...
Nice work!! I think you won the Yaktrax award. Feel free to swing by my house to pick up your virtual prize. Virtually nothing.
