Jingle Ball Run 5K. Seattle, WA. 8:50 a.m. So much fun! Lisa and I carpooled there. We ran with Nicole, Jordanne, Katie. Jordanne's mom did the 5K walk. Everyone finished and had a great time! There were thousands of runners there; not sure on exact amount but it was the largest Jingle Bell run in the country! It had live video coverage. It was hard to get going fast because there were so many people around me. It took me about the first mile to actually start getting ahead of people. I just followed one girl with a santa hat and ran to the side and zig zaged in and out between people. Time was okay but not what I was hoping for. It was mainly for fun and I am hoping to run it next year.! There were 2 hills, one small one in the beginning and a steeper one right near the end. I felt pretty good overall even with my scratchy throat. Near the end was tough.
TT: 26:11 according to GPS but my GPS wasn't calculated for the pace. Race results say 26:10, I like that better. Gun time: 28:28 |
