| Occupy DC had to move over a bit! |
17:30 – As part of a resolution to run more often, I signed
up for a 8k fun run called Jingle All the Way. For the Focus Foxies rushing to
Google to get a miles conversion, it is about 4.97 miles. We will just round
that up to 5 miles. This past Sunday, I ran that race in 32 degree Fahrenheit. If
I was back in Texas, I would not even step a toe outside because that is just
too cold. Yet, on Sunday, I managed to run those 5 miles and dress
appropriately warm for it.
The race had around 6,000 runners from all over the DC area that trotted alongside and ahead of me. I have never seen the roads of DC so packed with people. Literally, a sea of people washed over the nation’s capital trying to outrun their practice times. Many people dressed in Holiday gear, including Santas, toy soldiers, reindeer, and a few menorahs. I was not as fancy, but I did have jingle bells on my shoes.
My time for the race was 51.18. Not a bad place to start,
but I would like to get faster!
