Feeling like a champ!

The Jingle Bell 5K that I complained about for the last few days was actually quite awesome. Sure, it was absolutely freezing and I was so bundled up that I was sweaty, but seriously I had a wonderful time.

The race started at the Merchandise Mart, an easy zip down the Brown Line, and winded down wide city streets. I paced myself really well and besides stopping for a shoe-tie and sip of water I ran the whole time.

I finished with my best time yet - 35:25! Hooray!

B took some photos of me and I'll post those soon.

Now I just need to take this positivity and keep it rolling for the New Year's Day 5K...
