I ran.

2 mile warm up.

10K race in 41:42.

1.6 mile cool down.

45 seconds short of my PR.  I did my best under the conditions.  19 degrees.  So much for a warmer day.  It was icy for a solid 3.5 miles of that race...very difficult to find solid footing, and constant slippage underfoot that was such an energy sap.  I couldn't just run.  I had to constantly try pick my way around ice and snow when I could, and there were long stretches where I had no choice but to run on it.  9/75 overall though and 1/11 AG.  My first AG win that wasn't a 5K, and I took it by about a minute.  Not the time I wanted, but pretty happy with my performance from a race perspective.

Super impressive, under those conditions. Well done.

 

Actually, it wasn't a bad flick, just long. So pee before you go, like ten times, then pee some more, and again before the previews!

 

I'll treat it just like a race.

We watched all the trailers together, and agreed on Hateful 8.

So got a question about running clubs. There are races the next 2 weekends that I may do (assuming no more 2 feet of snow). Both are the local running club. A yearly membership is $22. I figured it out that if I do 4 or 5 of their events, the savings would be equal to the member ship. So in that sense it kinda makes sense. But I am not the social running type. On weekends, I like to get up on my own schedule and run when I feel like it. So does it make sense for me to join if I am not the social running type?

If the savings is equal to the membership, then you lose nothing by joining. But by doing so, give yourself access to company should you need it on a long run during the summer months, when running in the heat can be a chore.

I joined one for $25 to run one of their races for free. I never plan to run with any club members (or generally anyone, period), and may not do one of their races again. Just did it for the race.

I am a member of the running club here but don't do any of the club events or fun runs.  But (for $15) it gives me half price admission to the indoor track, 10% off at the local running stores and discounted prices for some of their races.  The track discount alone more than pays for it.

Nice! When conditions are good, race for time, when they're bad, race for position. You finished 1st AG by a minute. There ya go!
