A Couple Seasonal Pics

This was the photo of the week on The Complete Running Network a few weeks ago. I thought it was a great idea. The race shirt was styled like a Santa suit and runners were also given a hat and beard. Therefore, the racers end up being "a bunch of running Santas." The irony of this picture for me is that when I saw it I thought, "That looks like home with the mountains in the background and the way the street lights look." Well, surprise, surprise. This race was indeed in Ogden, Utah.



Next time you're wondering if you should actually go out in the cold weather for a run, think of this picture of a race in Calgary, Canada a couple weeks ago. The wind chill was -40°F!

A bunch of skinny Santas - that is picture worthy. You should have run with them. I hope they were serving milk and cookies at the finish line. C.W.

Better than cookies and milk at the finish line, they had cookies and milk at several stops along the course (instead of water/hydration stops).

I would have liked to run this one but wasn't in Ogden November 29. The race was started one hour before the Ogden Holiday Light Parade along the parade route.
