After two years in a row of starting the year with the Resolution Run 5K at Patterson Park, I did 5K today with my dog. A very easy way to start the year. No drive downtown. No waiting before a race. No waiting after the race. Three different outings of 1 or 1.1 mile with my pup. Just enough to get the heart rate going. Bundled up in the very cold. Least cold first thing in the morning when there was no wind. Happy dog. Happy me. Life is good.
