On Thanksgiving Day, my sister Holly and I ran a 10k (6.2 miles) at the local Rec Center in Bountiful. It was so much fun. However, the temperature was forecast to be around -2 degrees!!!! Auughhh! I freaked out a little (a lot) when I heard that. I bought and borrowed a ton of cold weather gear. On the morning of the race it was probably around 10 degrees (I was relieved a little, but not much).
Our little family slept at my parent's house the night before. As I was leaving for the race with my sister, I told my mom and cute husband, "If I don't make it home (because I freeze to death) remember I love you all!"
Well, the race was awesome and surprisingly, I got HOT! I took off my coat shortly after we started and probably would have taken more off if I could have. I ran it in 56:54 and my speedy sister ran it in 49:44 (she came in 3rd for our age division). I was hoping to run it under a 9 minute mile, but I just missed it. Dang.

You look like a ninja in your winter running gear! And you guys don't look old at all. You look the exact same as you did 6 years ago. Except with two more kids. Which might make you feel old, but you certainly don't look it!
