Keeping with the tradition I ran the new years day Polar Dash in downtown Minneapolis. It starts at 11 AM and goes along the MN river right downtown. Last year it was about -20, so this years 4 degrees felt warm. I also did my first 10k this time, rather than the 5k I did last year. I am glad I finished it, but it was ugly, painful and slow. It was about 8 minutes slower that I had done in practice and I believe I was one of the last ones to finish, which is always a great feeling getting "charity claps" when you cross the finish line. Results are at http://www.andersonraces.com/Results/pd10krs09.htm (look for me around 269th)

Congratulations, Tom. I don't think Kris would have even gone outside in those temps. ;)
