The day before my mom and I road tripped north with the little beys, my family ran a 5k, the Jingle Bell Run! I love, love these family races. They are just fun and it's extra fun that Matt joins, and that even Emily has, like this day! I think marrying into a family that runs 5ks for holiday fun hasn't been her favorite part. lol
Ben and I actually ran this exact race (and course) in 2011, and I ran it at an 8:13 pace for a 25:29. I knew going into it that the course was dirt, windy and such, but I still hoped that my increase in fitness in the past month, and a more accurate course distance would yield me an official PR of 23:xx.
