My first Jingle Bell Run!

During the busy holiday season, it's not always easy to stay healthy and keep fit. It's good that there are year-round running and walking events in the Seattle area. Personally, I prefer running during the colder season as long as it's not too wet outside.

Sunday's Jingle Bell Run was blessed with good weather and great fun...

I signed up for the timed 5K Rudolph Runners course...

Downtown Seattle was bright and festive with costumed runners and walkers...

 

For a first-timer at this event, I did quite well and kept good time (30:17, 9:45) despite the uphill portions of the course.

Perhaps I'll sign up again next year :-)
