So the Jingle Bell run 5k is closing in. It’s in 2 weeks!
I can’t believe it’s so soon. I got an email about where and when to pick up
my t-shirt, bib, and bells. (I’m most
excited about the bells). Luckily one of
the places to pick-up the stuff is on my way home from work so It won’t be out
of the way.
The route begins in front of the Burren ( a pub in Davis
Square) and ends on Highland st in Davis square.
Harpoon is sponsoring the post-race refreshments. Remember how much I love Harpoon?
There’s a bunch of pubs/bars in the area to go after the
race. I can’t wait to chase my run with
a nice cold beer.
The email also said that you can win a prize for dressing
up. I want to dress up as an elf, and I
just have to convince my running partner, Tracy. Come on Tracy, It will be so fun!

I feel prepared. For
my training I tried to run outside as much as possible, but most of the runs
were done on the treadmill. My goal is
to run outside a few more times for 3+ miles to get used to the cold air.
