I ran. I ran uphill. Then I ran downhill. Then I ran some more. The houses in the neighborhood were decorated for Christmas, which was nice. I started out fairly strong, but faded about half way through due to the hills kicking my butt.

Train more. I've done little to no running since Beach-2-Battleship over a month ago. Been laying around drinking beer and eating junk food. I should have been able to do better, but the results are consistent with the lack of training and fitness level.

The medals are plastic Christmas bulb ornaments hanging from a lanyard. Cute idea, but would have been nicer with a metal ornament rather than a plastic bulb.




Laying around for a month.


I love this race and I think it will keep gaining popularity year after year. It is a tradition for me to run a half marathon right before Christmas and this race certainly fits the bill!
