I have been looking forward to the 12k's of Christmas race since I did it last year. It is just a really fun time; benefiting the ASPCA, it encourages people to bring their dogs (That's my step dog, Riley in the picture. Karin took him on the alternate 6k course.); people get really decked out in festive outfits (see above); and there are carolers all along the course. I wore my cotton pajama top, because it was the only festive shirt I had! So I ran 7.4 miles in it in the rain!
It was a great race, even though my time was a full 10 minutes slower than last year. I guess I just didn't have that killer instinct (as a solid mid-packer I guess it is more of a maiming instinct).
