Race 5 Recap: Frigid 5k (New Year's Day!!)

The air was cold and the sky was blue in Warsaw for the Frigid 5k. It was the perfect day for the first run to welcome in the new year. The course took us around Winona Lake. Very pretty. The race was well organized and well marked. There were lots of friendly people on hand to encourage and direct the runners along the course. Scout is modeling the cozy fleece hat that took the place of the usual race t-shirt. Plan on making this race a New Year’s tradition!

Sarah!! 

Next race (February), the Tutu Run in Kalamazoo!!!

Frigid 5k on New Year's Day!

 



 

Sarah and I are going to brave the elements and kick off the New Year  by doing the Frigid 5k in Warsaw on New Year's Day. The race starts at 1:00pm--that is a good thing:)  Looking forward to it!

 

Here are some before and after pictures of Scout last New Year's Eve. I think he learned his lesson to lay off the toilet bowl water.

Race 4 Recap: The Santa Hustle 5k Indy

 

 



We are in there...somewhere. Sort of looks like a page out of a Where's Waldo? book but we know Waldo didn't make it to this race.

 

On December 16, 2012, we did the Santa Hustle. We had perfect weather! The race was super organized and very energetic and fun! It will definitely be on my Christmas wish list for next year.  We stayed at the new JW Marriott in down town Indy. Very nice! Great food and lots of shopping in a short period of time. Power shopping! Can't wait to head back down next year. Hopefully, we can get even more people to join in the festivities.

 

Here we are before the race. You can almost hear the sleigh bells in the distance. Almost. We all decided not to shave that morning. It is such a pain!

 

Giant, scary reindeer to keep...

the real reindeer in line. You know, just in case he decides to fly away.

 

Our leader.

 A man of no words but he is very grounded.

 

 

 

"Here come Santa Claus(es), Here come Santa Claus(es) right down Santa Claus(es) Lane..."

We are still standing after power shopping!  Starbucks was closed:(

I liked this girls shirt so I asked her to take a picture with me. She was a good sport about it.

 

Thank you Carole, Sarah, and Taylor!!!

 

*Info for the January event coming soon! Fridgid 5k on New Years's Day! Sarah is going to brave the elements with me!!! I left my camera at Waldo's house on Christmas:(



 

 

 

 

 

 





Race 4: Indianaplois Santa Hustle 5k and Half Marathon

Where's Ginger? 

 

Santa Hustle Indianapolis 5k and Half Marathon

On December 16^th, we will be hitting the streets of Indy to do the Santa Hustle 5k! I am so looking forward to this race. First, everyone will be dressed in holiday gear: Santa hat, Santa beard, Santa dri-fit shirt and any extra holiday props one would want to add to the ensemble.  Second, Christmas music will be played throughout the course. Third, cookies and candy will be served along the course! That is what convinced me to do this race. We can’t go wrong! Along with the  miles put in during the race, there will be many more pre-race miles put in on Saturday SHOPPING! 

 



Race 3 Recap: The Turkey Trot





 



 

Another beautiful race day! We had a perfect fall morning to go out for a morning walk. I will let the pictures do the talking…







 

 

 

Way better than words.



 



Race 2 Recap: WN 5k Zombie Run

Zombie Run!

Saturday, November 3, 2012

What a great way to spend a Saturday evening!  The smell of fall was in the air, and colorful leaves were crunching under our tennis shoes.  We were given two flags (think flag football) and the object was to not let the zombies get your flags. If they did get your flags, you were “dead”.  There was no shortage of Zombies trying to get our flags. Also, add to the mix that many of the zombies were students and we are teachers. Yikes!  Sarah...er, um I mean Pirate Girl was able to hold on to both of her flags for most of the race. In the end, the zombies wonL  Pirate Girl came up with a great strategy to use against the flag, grabbing zombies next year. It is top secret but I will say this-the zombies won’t stand a chance!!  We had a lot of fun participating in the First Annual Zombie 5k Run! Thanks Carole and Sarah!  Our next running adventure will be in a couple of weeks. We will be doing the Turkey Trot!
