Snowless snow day.

It's not just that there's no snow here, it's that this is one of the nicer days we've had this year.

In fact, it's not that, it's that the forecast doesn't call for snow until this evening, which means tomorrow should be a snow day, but it won't be.

Edit/Twist: Thursday was a snow day, but only after they made sure that the forecast no longer predicted snow.

Splits 5:24, 5:49, 5:55 pace for last1.107

The 5:24 first mile psyched me out a little. I just tried to stick with the people around me after that and I didn't lose any time relative to them. I think the first mile might have been aided a little plus a slight tailwind. Anyway, I definitely felt like I had a lot left at the end, it's just that I've not run a race shorter than 15k for a very long time.

Given my last race, I should have been maybe 10-20 seconds faster, but I think it's quite possible that I just will forever suck at the 5k due to my heart. Still, this course was not that easy and I still ran 30 seconds faster than any 5k since moving to atlanta.
