The alarm went off on the rainy, cooler morning...and well...we crawled back into bed...rather Amy crawled back in...Mark didn't get out at all....
And so the tradition of registering for the Jingle Bell run and not attending it continued...
For the third year in a row, we registered for the race and did not run the race...at least at the specified race time.
Why is that race always on a rainy, cold morning? We really should stop registering...but each year we think it will be different...
See, these are not the only three times we have registered for it. I have actually run it..at least once in my memory...back in the late 90s...maybe '98? Or another Jingle Bell race then at the very least...
So, Mark and I did our 6.2 miles on the treadmill at the gym.
Not sure if this should count toward the year end total...Jon thinks it should count twice since we actually ran on the treadmill and succumbed to utter boredom to finish our mileage. I have to admit, by the end of the run, I was desperately wishing we had braved the weather and run that morning.
The 10K was less than fast on the treadmill...I think my time was near 57 minutes...but at least it was finished.
So, does it count? If I can find another race between now and our final race on 12/31 then I will run it--to assuage my guilt. But if not...I may count it.
Stay tuned for the special superlative issue on January 1.
