1/1/97 Hangover Classic 10K, Salisbury MA

It gets cold in New England. Really cold. And this is one of those mornings. It seems like a crazy fun way to ring in the new year. Temperature reads 7 degrees F at the start. One person is wearing shorts, the rest of us are bundled up. Tired and do not feel like doing any warm up running. Road has some snowy and icy spots, one part of the race takes us onto a paved trail that is very icy and slippery. Feel crazy being out here, all my friends are sleeping, but I am having fun. Don't even care about the finish time so much, there is no way I can run my best on this ice. Still end up with a decent finish time.
