I was planning on running this one but at the last minute my mom decided to sign up and I decided to stick with her and encourage her rather than run and leave her going alone...especially since it was a night run in the dark. We had a good time though and we weren't last.

Run, drink a little more ahead of time. I wasn't dehydrated but I was a little thirsty before the race even started...winter really dries you out.

The long walk back to the car...hey, I walked most of it...how much warm down do I really need?


Sticking with my mom, thought it was better to encourage her to be active and make sure she had fun than worry about my time.


Things were a little messy because of the snow but considering there was 7" of snow, I'd say they did an excellent job. There was music before the events and it was a pretty festive happy atmosphere. And the event was followed by a party at Tejas.
