It wasn't too cold of a morning, not by 10:00 anyway, to run this race. The kids stayed at Grandma's house with Katy, who so sweetly offered to babysit them. (Jonny brought them all over after the race to play at a nearby park and be in on the post-race festivities.)
Jonny was speedy as usual, and although a minute slower than my last race, I ran a pretty quick one too. Actually not only did Jonny and I both place second in our age groups, but so did Mom, Dad, Grandma, and Drew! (See full results here.) Unfortunately none of us won the treadmill in the raffle. But we were happy with the nice quality blue tech shirts. (We were not happy with the price of the race, though. $25. And that was the early registration price. If is wasn't a special, sleepover at Grandma's, family event, I wouldn't have payed that on principle! I am worried all of our favorite races are going to skyrocket in price, as some already have. We'll just have to be more picky, I guess.)
It's getting more difficult to find the time to run, now that it's too cold to go with the kids most days. But it is always helps to have a race to work toward. Next one up: Thanksgiving. Should be fun.
