Hey halfers!
I have been so busy at work, finally sat down last night to read last week's thread.
Joe - congrats on your race!
Chuck - I was sorry to read about what you are going through
Hope things are coming together OK...
We have so many great new people as well! WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME!
I have a somewhat delayed "race" report. I did an evening 8k fun run through one of our local parks, they have a large Christmas light display and it was their grand opening night where they allow people to walk/run through, then the next night it was open exclusively to bikers, then open to the public to drive through.
This was my longest run since a ridiculous bout of tendinitis sidelined me from my 1/2 marathon...and it was strictly a fun run, no numbers or timing chips. I was thankful to be back out there, my sister, DH and I ran together. So we pretty much went out and enjoyed the scenery, they handed out the glow-stick necklaces to everyone so when we were all lined up it looked like a giant caterpillar winding in the dark.
I did a run 2/walk 1 strategy until the last mile, we just cranked it out. Boy was I sore that night! Just a few weeks of running and you really have to ease back in! We finished somewhere around 1 hour 8 minutes.
It was kind of odd running through Christmas lights in 40 degree weather, but hey I guess I prefer that to the blustery snowy alternative.
I haven't checked the calendar, do we have any racers out there this weekend??

Actually, the last time I was cheeky in a post (the men in tights thread) some guy from CT emailed me to introduce himself...had to tell him I like it when my HUSBAND runs in his tights!
Went walking with the family last night to explore some trails nearby, which have got some pretty mean hills, I'm told.
