Jingle Bell Jog 2012

It's that time of year again!  This morning we ran the Jingle Bell Jog, and as always, we had a great time. 

 

The morning started with a visit with Santa:

 

 

Then it was time to line up for the race.

 

 

Josh ran alone, because none of us are fast enough to keep up with him.  John got a picture of him recovering after crossing the finish line.  Josh came in 6th overall with a 7:15 mile, right up at the front of the pack!

 

 

Lucas ran the whole way (and in fact had to leave me at around the halfway point, but I could stay close enough to keep an eye on him as he ran ahead and finished).  He finished 61st overall with a 10:09 mile, which was in the top third at least.  He was ahead of a lot of people.

And Lucas with his BLUE ribbon for winning the kindergarten division!

Josh won a blue ribbon too -- his fourth in two years, after finishing first in his division in consecutive Turkey Trots and consecutive Jingle Bell Jogs!

 

My fast runners!
