Funny Friday

I have renamed Funny Friday to 5k Friday.  Oh!!!!  Actually, that is a really great idea.  What if I did a 5k walk every Friday before work?  Hmmmm....  that would either be a 6am start or walking to work.  I"ll have to think about that.

They have started a new thing here in Utah that every Friday you can sign up for a 5k or 10 walk or run.  I haven't done a 5k since I did my knee at the Milwaukee 5k.  I knew I was going to walk the event so I felt absolutely no pressure.

But...a storm blew in yesterday.  As I was doing my walk yesterday, these amazing low hanging clouds started gathering and the winds were picking up.  By evening it was raining-ish, snowing.  This moring I woke up to sunny skies but the temps had really decreased.  I just couldn't get warm.

I know I am going to walk this 5k but it is cold.  I put on a Nike Dri Fit with thumb holes and hoodie.  Then I layer a long sleeve cotton tshirt, a think sweatshirt, a Nike Dri Fit wind breaker and a sports vest.  Unfortunately, I only had on the one pair of pants.  Cap, scarf and gloves.

I was so cold.  My legs just wouldn't move.  I have no idea what my time was but surely it was well over an hour.  But...it was great to get a 5k out of the way!  Happy Friday.
