Today was the very first road race for 2018 in the RUN NOVA SCOTIA race series. It was a snowy and slippery day with the temperatures being around 2 degrees celsius.
THE FROSTBITE 5 MILER- FIRST LAKE LOWER SACKVILLE
It was beautiful to look at and slippery to run in. HOWEVER:
I KICKED IT OUT OF THE PARK !!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO ...What a race!!!! Awesome time with inclement conditions.
It was a looped course with rolling hills around First Lake.
I decided to include this Post in the Goodnews Posts for the week as this was a charity run. The goal was to fill the Harvard Auto Sales Beacon House Food Drive Vehicle.

I really think they succedded in filling the van. I took this picture before all the runners had even shown up.
So here we are at the start line. Now check out the runner with the shorts. Brrrrrr.
No Kidding eh.
Off we go...it was so beautiful just like a Currier and Ives Postcard.
Not every road or sidewalk was plowed.
I just heard from the Race Director and we seemed to have done incredibly well. It was a huge success.
I hope you have enjoyed my Run in the Maritimes today. If you would like to join along on the next run just let me know.
Namaste
