2nd Annual Winter Runderland

Mom got to finally run in her first organized race post-baby!!! Yeah, I realize that should have happened a long time ago, but hey, better late than never, right?

So, I ran in the 2nd annual Winter Runderland hosted by my very favorite friends at Manhattan Running Company. I did the 10K relay with my good buddy Shelby--she ran the first half and did the 2nd half. The first half was hillier, so Shelby got the short end of the stick with that one. But hey, she's way faster than me and can handle those hills. She joined me at about mile 4.5 and finished off the race with me.

It was a balmy 30 degrees when the race started and we enjoyed some nice snow/sleet moisture throughout the day. Here I am, just before the start of the race.
And afterwards, having survived the chilliness. Truth be told, I was plenty warm after the first 1/2 mile. I even had to shed a layer because I got too hot.

Does it make you want to go out and run??? It was actually pretty fun and several of us gals have decided that iced-over hair is our new style.
