Jingle Bell Run!
Posted in Racing by Jackie Arendt
In an attempt to get into the holiday spirit and get some exercise at the same time I participated in the Jingle Bell 10k this year. I have been enjoying the off season since Ironman Hawaii and haven’t done much running, so this race was a last minute decision for me. Well, honestly it was both the lack of running and the huge dump of snow we had received just a couple days before the race (see example below):
- About 2 feet…
So I decided to do the race about an hour before it started since most of my friends were going cross county skiing and I STILL haven’t bought a pair! Anyhow, I met fellow triathlete Blake Becker and some of my Team in Training friends at the start (which was filled with people dressed up in all sorts of combinations of red, green and Santa costumes). Together we began a SWEEET 10k route around the arboretum, trudging through snow the whole way :) It was a great way to celebrate winter in Wisconsin and to jump-start me back into training.
Happy Holidays!!
