Today I ran with Rudolph

Sunday I woke up at 7am to go run outside in 27F (-2C) degree weather. good times...

The Rudolph Ramble, as it was called, was supposed to be an 8k race by Lake Michigan in Chicago. Instead, as I would later find out (and I when I say later, I mean after the race) is that it had been changed to a 5k race due to the icy path. It was a fun run regardless. There were Santas, reindeer, and elves running. Everyone was in a happy mood. It was a big surprise, however, to make it to the finish line and see everyone stop running when you think you have a ways to go. Needless to say, no records were broken.

In the afternoon I did my hour of power with the Chicago Blue dolphins Masters swim group. It was a test to see how much distance we could cover in 60 minutes. I ended up swimming 3100 yards. Not too bad I guess...
