On Saturday, we ran the Hot Chocolate 5K. It's a 3.1 mile race in downtown Chicago, running through Grant Park down around Soldier Field, around Shedd Aquarium, and back to the park. Chris, John, and I jogged it (the parents walked it and did great!) and then headed to the tents where they gave away chocolate fondue and cups of Ghirardelli Hot Chocolate. It was a fun race, but the course was a little crowded at times. And it was super cold before and after the race. Still, I had a really good time.
I'm certainly not the fastest runner in the world, but I was proud to jog almost all of it. And I guess now I have a time to beat in my next race. (Which is already planned - Chris and I are going to do the Santa Hustle 5k on Dec 4. It'll be another cold one, I'm sure!)
