i actually ran a 5 mi race in baltimore last saturday - the celtic solstice 5 miler. i haven't been doing a lot of running lately, and by lately i mean the last 8 or so years since my knee injury. my niece talked me into signing up for this and it was a classic - well this seemed like a good idea 6 months ago. it was very cold, but at least dry. my goal was to run the whole way and do it under an hour. i did it in 55 minutes and ran the whole time. kinda fun actually. now maybe i need to find another race to plan for, just maybe not when it's so cold.
