Happy Family Day

Happy Family Day.

Today was the day --- first race back after surgery, 62 days ago.

Grimsby 10K.

I get there and the Half Marathon was cancelled, due to extreme cold weather, -24 with windchill of -32. Wow, there was a lot of unhappy runners.

I pick up my race package...did a 1K warm-up (which really didnt warm me up---so cold)....I turn around to see my wonderful son with a tear in his eye. He asked me not to do the race....so, for the first time in my life, I listened to him. 

When I sit back and think about it, he was right....I wasn't truly ready....I have been pushing it too much too soon...this was a big surgery, why would I mess it up. I have promise to take it down a bit. 

My next scheduled race is March 1st, 5K Frosty Race Burlington. It's a more reasonable goal.

Since it's Family Day, time to relax, watch movies.
