This was my first road race in a December. The weather wasn’t too cold, but, it was too cold for someone who was fighting a cold. Running hard and breathing in cold air is not an ideal situation when you are sick. Another problem for this otherwise fairly easy run, it was on a Sunday morning. I had convinced myself I would have plenty of time to run this 9:00 AM 5K, get home, shower, and make it to church for 11:00 AM services. I didn’t. I didn’t calculate the time it would take me to get out of the parking lot, with runners still finishing, and get home. Plus, being sick anyway, the race made me more tired than usual I think. In the future, I will not schedule any Sunday races if I don’t have plenty of time for church.
