Running with the Santas

I ran my first race after the marathon! Actually, I'm a little embarrassed to even post about it since it was only a mile, and not timed, and everyone was dressed up like Santa, oh and it was AFTER a bar crawl began.

Still, it was a race that I ran the first time outside since the weather dropped below freezing. Needless to say, my lungs were freezing and I was surprised at how out of shape I felt.

....the redbull station half way through probably didn't help. What a surreal run?
Anyways, unless I get convinced to do another run before the holidays, the next big race will be the Cleveland Marathon debuting in May 2012! While I think I'll pass on full marathons next year, I do want to train for the half. I have every intention of beginning to train in March and actually going for a decent time. I'm hoping with Adam's son being a bit older, maybe I can con Adam into running with me more often. This seems to help my time since his pace exceeds mine.

Probably won't post anymore until then, unless I get some comments about wanting to hear about my 2 mile treadmill runs. To nip that in the bud, this is what they would sound like "Ran a 6.3 on the treadmill today while watching Food Network and Jersey Shore simultaneously. Person next to me needs stronger deodorant"

Not interesting, right?

See you in March!
