Jingle Bell Team Challenge

My sister and I both signed up for the Jingle Bell Team Challenge through U.S Road Running and since this was the first time we have been together since the Wicked 10K, we thought we would use this weekend to complete it!
Since we still had some snow on the ground, it was a perfect day to dress up in our red and green, and listen to Christmas tunes as we ran!

We also had a few more things we each had to check off of our #RunChatHunt list. So we took pictures of those along the way.
                                         Lacey needed to get a picture of a holiday inflatable!

I still needed to get a picture of a farm animal.  They didn't say it needed to be real, so the animals in this manger display will have to do!


We completed our mileage and promptly took a picture with our shiny new medals!


 


 I love themed medals. And the ones for this challenge were just too cute!
 
Thank you U.S Road Running!
 
 

I also tried to make gingerbread cookies this weekend ( My first attempt).

 I wanted to  make Mickey cookies, but the ones that did not turn out I turned into puppy dogs!


 We also went to see the Disney movie "Saving Mr. Banks". I highly recommend it.  ( Just a tip: make sure you stay for the ending credits. There is some really cool stuff to be seen/heard)


Did you run this weekend? Did you do any baking?

  1. Aww. you guys look so cute in your holiday running outfits. Those medals are really nice too! We are baking some cookies today or tomorrow, but would never attempt a cute little Mickey. Mine would turn out like a blob! Merry Christmas!

  4. The puppy cookies were made by accident. They were the Mickey cookies that went bad (droopy ears), haha!

  7. I made gingerbread cookies this weekend, too! I love that you took a picture of the manger scene. Hilarious!

    I ran on Saturday…tiptoed around the ice. It was slow, but I was afraid to crack my head open. Planning on seeing "Saving Mr. Banks" with the family sometime soon!

  11. I kept meaning to do the #runchat challenge, but I would get back from my run and say "crap, I forgot again!". I guess I just get into the zone. I actually think the puppy dog cookies are perfection!
