ON December 1st, for the third year in a row I signed myself up for the Knights of Columbus holiday run. It starts off just a mile away and is one of my regular routes. The one I call "Five mile race the school bus" .
This year the boys decided that they would like to run the kids race and I couldn’t be happier. Mikey had recruited his BFF Dom to run with him and Brenny was going to be running his first one mile run ever.
Pete placed a little wager in front of B. He challenged him to beat his older brother and his friend. The Prize was $5 from Daddy.

Brenny in the Red, Mikey a Blur in Black out ahead early. 
The boys took off in a flash and
headed through the neighborhood streets.
I handed off my jacket to Pete and took a loop to warm up and to meet up
with the boys as they came into the finish.
Mikey’s friend was struggling a bit and they had slowed to a walk. As soon as B saw me he ran to meet me and I
knew he was determined to win the five dollars his father promised him. He finished in less than 9 minutes! First in his age group too.
I had a nice run too. It was a nice cool day. Perfect for running and I felt good despite very few miles in the past month. Its always amazing how fast you can be in a race. No PR but I did improve my time from the Turkey Trot by two minutes! And then there is this picture of me flying along the creek. It might be the socks. I don't know. Just sayin.
