Hi all!  I wanted to share some pictures of the Jingle Bell 5K I did this past Saturday.  It was a foggy morning, but around 60 degrees.  Perfect running weather!  I couldn't believe how many people dressed up for the race, including their pets!  In fact I have never seen so many dogs participate in a race before.  I won 1st place in my age group and got a festive medal...but the best part was I FINALLY beat a guy running with a baby jogger!!!!!!

 

 

Happy Holidays to everyone!!!!!

Holiday Photos

Posted by ShannonNelson Dec 8, 2008

 

Hi Tampa Team,

 

 

Does any one have any ideas for a holiday photo opportunity?  I am hoping to host a happy hour in December.  I am thinking Wild Wings in Tampa on Anderson.  This is right next to the Green Iquana.  Cyndi, I know we talked about joining efforts on that.  Do you have a date that might work?   Anybody signed up for races or any other events? 

 

 

Is anybody out there........................
