Ran the Running of the Leopards 5k. Got a PR by almost a minute...ya, not sure this course counts as a PR but I'll take it anyway. Second in my age group, not sure of overall placing.

Warmed up in the slushy stuff. Ran a few strides. Felt bueno.

Cooled down with White and Josh E. Really fun race and I won an itunes gift card in the raffle..boo-ya!

+ Bouldering at the gym for 45minutes or so. I was trashed but fun little session. Did some planks, push-ups and core stuff too.
