Thanks for all the kind words guys and gals. It was actually a good time getting out there and battling the elements, at least once I gave up on the idea of running a PR. I forget sometimes that this is supposed to be fun, and seeing all those other idiots like me paying money to play in the snow definitely put a smile on my face.

PRs: Marathon (2:56xx; '13) Half (1:25xx; '12) 10k (40:26; '11) 5mi (29:23; '13) 5k (18:31; '11)

Yep, shorts. He actually fell at one point too...had to be darn cold going down. I had intended to go with shorts as well, but I decided at the last minute I might be better served by keeping my muscles warm in tights.

Namtor...I'm all for the right shoes....you buying? lol.
