Half-Frozen
I woke up this morning, went downstairs and got the paper off the porch, and about froze my extremities off in the three seconds I was out there. It's a balmy six degrees out this morning.
I decided, is any better way to start out a frozen day by signing up for the Frozen Half Marathon? So I did just that. The close reader will remember I ran and subsequently wrote about this race last year.
My high goal this year is to break 1:20. I'm sure how feasible that is, which makes it a good goal, I guess. I posted my high goal for the Twin Cities Ten Miler this fall, and missed that goal by over two minutes. So I'm hoping it's not bad luck to put the high goal for any race on this blog.

Dude! A 7 AM Post! Your, my friend, are the man.
Wow, I'm just getting to work after waking up, looking at the thermometer, and then going back to bed. Impresivisimo! This probably means I'm going to suck it up at the winter half.
Kirk, I needed some motivation to run in the cold. So I figure the sooner I posted about the race, the sooner I'd be serious about running in the single digits.
Nathan, I assume you've re-read this post by now. Getting the paper, and then getting on the web? Not so impressive as what you originally read is it? You thought I actually ran that morning. What's the equivalent of the term "typo" for a reading error?
I wouldn't recommend leading off conversations by telling people that you've gone viral.
Why's that? Are they going to assume I have some red Target bullseye fungus on my groin?
That's acceptable. That's what we call "advertising."
