Resolution Run

We started off the New Year in the perfect way and ran the 5km Resolution Run. It is a fun run which is great for the ice and snow covered streets we ran on and the big crowds and we really did have so much fun!! We lucked out with great weather (-11 C ish) and the wind was pretty calm where we ran (-17 ish), I was actually peeling off some layers mid way. T ended up running with our friend's 11 year old son and ran it close to 10 mins faster than the rest of us. T said that it was a good reminder of how "old" he is getting when the 11 year old could have out run him if he had been allowed to just run ahead on his own!
I ran with my good running buddy LM and my sister and good friend LF ran just ahead of us (pinching my bum as they ran past me!). A couple other friends ran it as well making for just the best time. It was topped off with a pancake breakfast at the end.
What better way to start off the year motivated to keep on running! I will for sure make this a traditional event. I have loved having the drive to get out in the cold to run.
On my list of New Year's resolutions is to for sure run the 10km run again in the summer. I have my eye on a few other events as well but we will see how the training goes.
Happy New Year!!!

  5. Wow! Good for you! I can't even imagine running during the holidays -- I feel so stuffed. Okay, truthfully, I can't imagine running anytime, but good for you!
