Last year I ran the Santa Hustle with my best friend Kara. The night before I went on the WORST (repeat WORST!!) non-date anyone could ever have. I got to bed around 2, woke up still drunk from attempting to make the non-date better by drinking too much and was out among all those Santa hats around 8 am. It was my first 5k and I thought it was the most horrific idea EVER during the race. I think I ran like a 12-13 minute mile. Oy vey.
BUT ... once the race was done I felt GREAT (accomplishment-wise, I was way hungover.) I've since completed the Chase Corporate Challenge 5k and am considering training for a half marathon for next Spring (prolly won't happen, but you never know.) So this year I've signed up for the second annual Santa Hustle and am really looking forward to it! It's this Saturday, so stay tuned for an update post-race!
