As usual, some of my friends signed up for an event, and they wanted me to come along. I aim to please, so I registered, got up at 6 AM on race day for the 30 minute ride to Temple to pick up my packet and race number. It was chilly and drizzling, but when I got to the race venue, I was excited to see a big crowd of participants raring to go. This would be my frst "Jingle Bun Run," and even though I was doing only the 5K, I knew I'd have a grand time.

The shirt..too cute!
Two of my friends and I were doing the 5K and two of my friends did the half. It was great to see so many young kids running...
....and of course there were people running with their baby strollers and dogs as well. One of the dogs looked adorable in his Santa hat as he crossed the finish line!

One of my friends got 2nd place and a medal in her age group! We both had personal bests for a 5K that day in spite of the rainy drizzle.
Another day well spent!
