The Blizzard Buster 5k is the first race of the year in our area. This is the fourth year my wife and I have competed in the Blizzard Buster. I like mixing races in with my training, running with the other competitors makes me run a little harder than I do when running alone. I run harder because I want to catch the runner in front of me and I don’t want to be passed by the runner behind me. Not to mention the carrot at the end of the stick . . . the prize for placing in my age group. I didn’t place this year but my wife set a new PR and won her age group. This is what she won.
That’s right a new cup with a spoon. She was excited about this because our grandson broke the mug she won at Blizzard Buster, 2 years ago. It was her favorite hot chocolate mug, now she has a new one. Most races give out metals as awards but you can’t drink hot chocolate out of a metal. Although I didn’t place I was very pleased with my run.
I ran a 25:30 on a hilly, icy course and that was good enough for me.
Sweet mug!
