And I did it in just under 40 mins. Which is much better than I thought I would do, having missed several weeks of training. I had a great time...there were lots of hills, but the weather was perfect. It was cold, but by the time we warmed up it was nice having the breeze. The finish line was on top of a hill and Scotty was standing with the kids at the bottom of that hill so that gave me the extra push I needed to finish. wub.gif My friends were waiting at the finish line with a camera. (I don't have the pics yet.)

My next one is in January....I am going to see if I can beat my time, of course. wink.gif

laugh.gif It was actually one of those head wraps that cover the ears. I just have a really small head and it swallows it. I normally buy kids sizes. tongue.gif

It was pretty cold. Of course we warmed up fairly quick once we got running and I enjoyed running in the cold moreso than the heat.
