Reindeer Run 5K




Before the race:
This is a cool t-shirt because it's a long sleeved running shirt instead of a regular cotton t-shirt. The reindeer on the front is wearing a Christmas tree costume.















Just to prove that I ran with actual reindeer I asked these two if they wouldn't mind posing for a picture with me. As you can see, they didn't mind at all. Cute, huh?




















AND THEY'RE OFF!
The starting line was at the bottom of this hill! For those familiar with this area, we are running on Haviland Road (the same one the Glens Falls Chapel is on). The north entrance to Adirondack Community College is behind us. Meadowbrook Road and the golf coarse are in front of us.







Where's Pam?!
Look for an orange blur. I was trying to get a little closer to Santa so Sam could take a picture. This guy ran the entire race dressed like that. I think the woman to his right is his elf.











After the Finish!

3.1 miles (5K) in 28 min 30 sec
a personal best for me. I was tired but not spent.
I had a good time and experienced my first winter time run. I'll be looking for a 10K in the Spring.

Great pictures! Way to go! Every time I see pictures of your races, I get a little more inspired to become a runner.
