Jingle Bell Run for Arthritis

A last minute addition to our training schedule...  Due to crazy weather (rain and ice) the school activities were cancelled--most notably for us, the cross country ski meet at Service.  This meant we could participate in this 5k as a family.  The race began at the Snow Goose restaurant near downtown and followed the coastal trail to Westchester Lagoon and back. We each had our goals: Simon wanted to win, Ethan wanted to finish, Annie wanted to maintain a 10:00min/mile pace, I wanted to finish with better the 8:00min/mile pace.

Simon didn't win but finished in the top ten.  My pace was 7:55 for the race--my fastest ever!  Ethan struggled but was able to finish ahead of Ann who met her goal!  Ann may have broke her toe the morning of the race, or just bruised it badly--whatever, it doesn't look good but she said it didn't give her any problems during the race.  I will link to the results as soon as the come up.
