The Minneapolis Valentine's Day 5K was my first race and it was really fun! Obviously a race in Minnesota in February is going to be chilly - I think it was 10 below at the start! Everyone dresses up in fun Valentine's Day gear and makes the best of the cold conditions for a quick 5K around beautiful Lake Harriet. Parking is always kind of pain for a race around the lakes, so arrive early (but wait in your car as long as possible!) before heading to the starting line. The super cute and delicious heart shaped cookies at the end are worth it ;) Overall I'd recommend this run as a great way to kick off a new racing season. BUNDLE UP!
