Santa Stampede

S's birthday starts with the group meeting for a running race. D is unable to make it this morning - another tropical disease he picked up - so there is no eggnog during the run this year. Twong, however, did out-do his costume from last year (on the left).

I ran the 5k for the first time. That hurt a lot more than the 10k. Except for an untied shoe I would have hit my target time. Horray!

Then there were festivities at one of the local breweries. We monopolized the patio and brought in some Chipotle catering. Excellent! Until the sun went behind the mountains, and the temperature dropped...time to make my retreat!
