I didn't expect to run in five states this year. I thought it would simply be four, which I think is ambitious to begin with!
But the stars aligned and I ended up flying up to Connecticut and running one more race this year.
Here we are before the race, wearing our Ugly Sweater hats. Great hats!
Sporting our race swag -- fun hats!

Coming into the finish
Wow, we look stylish! My sweater looks like it is two sizes too big! And to think I used to wear that to work!
Along the course!
You can tell the temps were up for the race by the last photo. I had to take my sweater off! I was roasting. The race wasn't my best. My foot, which I've stayed off of for three weeks, almost immediately began hurting. It's hurting right now as I type this. Grrr...
The trip also included lunch with my friend Val, who lives in Massachusetts and drove about 90 minutes to meet me for lunch!

It was a great weekend. Over way too fast. And my goodness it was warm! Almost a little too warm for all the sweaters I brought thinking it would be really cold in Connecticut in December. After all, Peggy said it sleeted at last year's Ugly Sweater Run.
This race in Connecticut represented my 21st state. It may not have been the right weekend for sweaters, but our ugly ones sure were fun!!
