Our Race Scrapbook 2019

It's that time of year again where we share our Race Scrapbook! I actually wasn't going to make one this year because 1) I haven't run many races and 2) It's time consuming and puppy chasing has taken up most of my time lately. However, since it is a tradition I've started since we started blogging and my sister had a really good year of running, I thought it was something I must do.  Although my running decreased drastically this year, I was happy that I met my goal of running one race per season. I got one Spring race, one Summer race, one Fall race, and one Winter race (even if they were only fun runs)!  

I am a Lab Mommy Again!

Hi Everyone!

If you've seen my IG posts over the last few days, you would notice that I have a new four legged family member!

Sleigh Run

Last weekend, after the Running of the Elves 5K race, we participated in the Santa Sleigh Run.

This was the first year for the Santa Sleigh Run in our community. The objective was to get a team of 3 to 5 people, dress in costumes, and build a sleigh out of something (but it could not have a motor on it). The sleigh had to be able to hold one of the participants, who was dressed as Santa, or any other holiday character.

Running of the Elves 5k (with some reindeer)

Last weekend my Mom and I ran the Running of the Elves 5k. It was a local Christmas race close to our hometown.  We ran this a few years ago and enjoyed it so decided to run it again. We lucked out and had a very nice day for it. 

Shortly after starting the race,

Holiday Chat

Let's Chat about the holidays....

Have the holiday events started for you already? Has your town done their tree lighting?  Are you participating in a Secret Santa at work or church?  Do you have holiday parties planned?  I feel so grateful to have so many things to participate in during this time of year.  My calendar is filling up way too fast, but I am thankful. 

Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot 5K

Every year we have this local 5k Turkey Trot. I usually don't run this because I always say the way I eat I need to run more than a 5k. Plus this race is usually just a fun run and it's just for bragging rights if you beat the turkey. 

Fall Favorites

This fall has actually been going well for me.  I've been lucky enough to have the retrievers to keep me busy and we had fun picking out pumpkins, going to fall festivals, and just  hanging out!  The first half  of the season I was training for the Hershey Half Marathon and since then till now I've been  enjoying other things.
