Running Update

I ran my first 10K last weekend. While I was not fast by anyone else's standards, I did very well for me. My pace was an 11:02-minute mile, so I finished in just under 68 minutes (no walking). I learned how many layers I need to wear for running outside when it's 31 degrees (fact: it's not 3 long-sleeved layers). Also, even though my new little running ski-cap promised "wicking" action, it couldn't possibly keep up with the gallon of sweat my head produced. I looked like a drowned rat when I finished! But my new running gloves worked out well (with snot-absorbent panels! I didn't realize why the terrycloth was there until the middle of my run, when I was pleasantly surprised at their strategic location!).
