good Blue Back Square 5K Mitten run 5 km 00:34 10:47 pace

This was my first "cold" race. I've never run outside in 33 degree temps so it was definitely a challenge on the breathing part. I'm also trying to get used to this inhaler. Luckily I kept it in my pocket not knowing what to expect and I did have to take another puff at the 1 mile mark. The cold felt like razorblades in my lungs. Note to self: cover mouth next outside run! Overall, I was happy with my performance. I haven't been able to run in the past 2 weeks fighting this upper respiratory so I wasn't sure how I was going to do. I finished just a few seconds over my last 5K back in October which was my best PR since beginning my running journey just under 2 years ago.
