So last night the CRC (Carthage Running Club), Brooke, Chanti, and Robert, was in attendance at the 2nd Annual SWAT "Run Through the Lights" in Carthage, MO. ***Chanti brought us bells for our shoes so we made it a "Jingle Bell Run" as well ;)
We made a 5.5 mile loop from the Y, to Chi Dong Dong Chong (sp is wrong) where they have a drive through Christmas light display, to down-town and then back to the Y. There were about 10-15 of us total and only one bike this year :( Michael, Brady, and Debbie dropped out). The weather was nice and the company even better. The only thing missing was Brady standing on Chanti's porch yelling "Go CRC" as we ran by.
I was pretty proud of myself...first half I tried to keep up a good pace (letting Chanti lead us) and stayed with the pack but knew the second half was going to be a bit slower so asked my loyal friend if we could slow down and enjoyed the run home. Had to keep telling myself "this isn't a race it's a run" because for some reason I feel like I need to keep up. Oh well, maybe that will keep me on the road for as long as possible in my new "race".
A note on "running for two" - Again, a couple people said .... "You aren't even showing" until I turned to the side and then they said "oh yeah, a little". Come on people you have seen me in a bikini or at least shorts and a tank top....MY STOMACH IS NOT NORMALLY THIS BIG!!!! Yes, this pregnancy has proven something - I have body issues, maybe it is vanity, who knows, but I am getting over it or getting used to it. I'm going to get lots bigger before it's all over.
Happy Holiday's to you all,
Run On - Brooke

It was a great 'Jingle Bell Run' - I agree - Brady needed to be out on the porch - we need to make that a tradition! ;-)
We did have a good run - strong first 1/2 and I'm not sure how much we really slowed down for the second 1/2? I'm guessing not a lot knowing us and our chatting.
Maybe they just thought you had on lots of layers? ;-)
