Santa Shufflin' not in the snow!




Hi!

The Santa Shuffle on Saturday was fantastic! It was one of the best organized races that I had ever done! The weather cooperated, there was lots of excitement, lots of festive cheer, and lots of food and entertainment after the race including free footlong subs from Subway! How can you go wrong??

Everybody from WOW! who participated did great and it was one heck of a holly jolly time! Good job gang!

As for myself, the race went well all things considered. I have been sick over the last few days so running was pretty much the last thing I felt like doing on Saturday morning. The weather was not cold but crisp, and I wore a festive race belt which had 2 battery packs attached with 3 AA batteries in each one (in which I stuffed down my pants for the run). I finished the race in 22 minutes and 50 seconds which is a new personal best for this guy! I was happy, my legs and my lungs were not. I'm excited to break that 2o minute barrier next year when all things are well! It was not a timed event so I don't know how I placed but there wasn't very many people at the finish line when I got there, maybe 6 or 8 people who were running ahead. I think I did alright. I'm happy!

The rest of the weekend included fighting the snow to get shopping done on Sunday. The good news is that nobody else really wanted to go out. I think I waited in line in Costco at 3 pm on Sunday for about 30 seconds. It was dead in all the stores! I love it!

Happy shopping, I like BIG presents by the way! :)
