Jingle Bells and Fine Dining

(One of the most beautiful ladies John spied during the run - and he keeps a keen eye out for such sights: This baby's stride was incredible, and the glutes!)
(Coach Cooper still all smiles at about the half-way point - John sprinted ahead, fished out the camera, jumped the railing on the bridge to snap this shot - then sprinted to catch back up, jump back over the railing and re-enter the fray: well, something like that...)
(Part of the Klipsch Family present - Charles Lanham's daughter, Lisa, - ran with her husband, Mike, and joined the ProMotion party!)
(Registration scene this morning before the start of the Jingle Bell Run for Arthritis)

(That's Young Jess under the Santa hat with Coach Cooper - and this was while we were inside where it was quite warm!)

So, John has lost any ability to arrange photos in the order he wants for his posts - hmm, could be the minor frostbite he incurred during the little run this morning (not really - he was dressed nearly perfectly). Coach Cooper posted a PERSONAL BEST time for the 5k, and so did Lisa! Way to go, LADIES!! Haven't heard how Young Jess fared, but she sure was pumped up at the start - bet she was fast and light. The jingle of the bells, the red hats and antlers, it was a fun, festive sight I hope you all try out next year.

So what happened in your day? Did you breath deeply? Feeling the brisk and welcome bite of winter down into the bottom of your lungs? Did you sweat? Long enough to grow frost on your forehead? Did you share life with those you love? Did you trim a tree, or ponder that perfect gift for someone close? Did you see joy in a young child's eye, hear it in their voice, see it in their strides full of jump and juice? Did you fuel your efforts with whole, wholesome foods and keep toxins at bay? Did you strive, dig deep, put out effort and wonder just how much was left? These things, and more, make for a fine Saturday....
