We all met at 8:00 at our local stomping grounds ... A group of ex co-workers have been getting together for their very own annual informal and fun "Ho Ho Ho Run" for the past five years. Although I'd been invited three times running (no pun intended), I was never able to make it for one reason or another. But this year it worked out and I was stoked. The night before I was scrambling around our storage closet looking for my Santa hat like a woman possessed.
It was a fabulous morning. We put in six casual miles in perfect running conditions. No rain, not too cold. We waved and wished everyone we met happy holidays ... the runners all acknowledged us but the walkers did not. In fact they seemed to inch closer to the edge of the trail as they saw us coming and averted their eyes so they wouldn't have to get involved in our holiday schenanigans. But the runners (and bikers) were all waving back, smiling and super happy ... see what getting your heart rate up can do for your mood??
