Chilly Chase 5 K Run

Today's weather was really cold and even some of the roads were icy, hence the name of the race "Chilly Chase". Despite the weather, a lot of people showed up and participated in the race. Ray's parents came out and saw us run. Thanks for the support! :) Well, I haven't been training too much in running except for snowshoeing. I realized from today's race that running, as opposed to snowshoeing, uses different muscles of the legs. I managed to finish the race in 30:52 mins for a 5K, considering that there were a few slip incidents from the black ice. The icy road slowed me down a lot because I was not confident enough to run and not fall on it. I might not run this race next year if the weather happens to be the same like today. Alright, let's get to the race results. I am happy to tell you guys that Ray came in 1st out of 27 for males and 2nd overall out of 77 (1st out of 7 in his age group)!! His time was 21:19mins!! Speedy gonzales! As for me, my time placed me 7th out of 50 for females and 19th overall out of 70 (4th out of 19 in my age group). I'm pretty happy with my performance. Don't you think so?? :) You can check out the results at the Raceheadquarters website. The next race for us will be a snowshoeing 5K run at Mount Seymour on Feb 3rd. Check back on my blog later and until then, SAYONARA!!! :) Below is a pic of Ray showing off his medals.
