Jingle Bell Run

Yep, that's right. Two races in one day! I know I'm crazy, but oh well. Bopper and Matt and Turtle ran it too and Lindsey was thinking about it so there were going to be some non-runners that I figured I would just chill with and take it easy given my morning. Well I pretty much lost all three of them right off the bat because it was so frickin' crowded. So once I could, I picked up the pace a little to try to at least catch Bopper, but I apparently missed her at some point. Ended up actually setting a PR! That's two in one day! hahaha. I didn't get everyone else's times so I'll just post mine for this one. I actually coulda dropped probably another 30 seconds since I got bogged down at the beginning. Maybe I'll try to be more in the front next year. ;-)

Gulf Winds Track Club 5 mile race and 10 mile challenge

Beautiful morning for a run. Weather was just about perfect. I did the 5 mile (8 kilometer) race. The course was definitively rolling hills. I don't think there was a single flat section in the entire race. It was an out and back route and overheard that the back was more uphill than the out. AWESOME! Definitely a challenging course and I went out a little harder than I meant to, but I set a PR so I was pretty stoked!
