The run is just days away! I think we're ready. Last Sunday we ran with the course with Carlos' running group (http://www.oldschoolboxingclub.blogspot.com/). It was pretty snowy. About two minutes into the run I said to Kim, "This isn't bad. It's softer than pavement at least." Then, about two minutes after that my body decided that it actually was bad and wanted to quit. But I still finished and I figure that if that's what it's like on Sunday I can handle it.
I also recently did a story on an 84-year-old runner from East China Township (http://www.voicenews.com/stories/121008/loc_20081210009.shtml ). He actually didn't even get into running until he was in his 50s and has completed several marathons, 10ks and 5ks. Now, he's on his way to running 25,000 lifetime miles. He stopped in the office the other day to get a registration form for the Jingle Bell Run, so I hope we see him there!
If you see us at the run, make sure you say hi! And cross your fingers for good weather!

The Jngle Bell 2008 is now history and we had fun training and running it.
The best part of the whole thing was the nice people we got to know along the way.
