Tonight's Christmas Lights run was really nice. Because I wanted to try to take some pictures, I decided to run in the middle pack, figuring I could slow down to take some pictures and then catch back up. Slowing down and catching up worked but the picture taking was pretty much a bust as you can see from the picture on the right.
We started and ended at Runner Bill Sports.
The lights were pretty -- you can get a general idea from the pictures.
Brooks Running donated some running stuff and my name was drawn for a shirt -- a Brooks Nightlife Podium Half-zip. That was pretty nice.
The first 3 miles were pretty leisurely but I picked it up for the last 2 -- we were past the lights and just heading "home". Ended up passing the lead group and finishing the 5.3 miles in 46:17.
This Christmas, reduce your carbon footprint by replacing a Christmas lights drive with a run. You'll enjoy it and be earth-friendly at the same time.
Run well, y'all,

I still think that's an awesome idea. I was able to run outside last night during a break in the ice storm and thought about your group as I focused on the Christmas lights. It was a great distraction from thinking about how dang cold it was.
Love that yellow pull-over, what a deal!!
Sounds like fun.
Great idea Bob! Thanks for sharing your pictures.
Liked the carbon-saving suggestion!
We're not running out there, as we'd slip on the ice & kill ourselves. But we did go for a nice family walk in the snow this afternoon.
Merry Christmas, Bob!
