Christmas Light Run was fun in the (absence of) sun

Thanks to all who attended the 2nd Annual Christmas Light Run! The weather was nice, the lights were fantastic, and the frosty snow masks were out in full force. Thanks, Dave, for putting it together again this year!

First RRRGF group run in December!

Saturday, December 4th at 8AM - GF YMCA - be there or be warmer snuggled in your bed sipping coffee and reading the paper.

I mean, nevermind. Sorry. I'm not doing a good job of selling this group run.

How about a better motivator - straight from our RRRGF apparel collection:

Let's do a couple of miles to start December right. See you at the Y. All races, all paces.

And just because people newer to running might be interested, some apparel tips to help make it more bearable:

Wear a tight layer on top and bottom, any type of gloves and hat (maybe balaclava or facemask will do, also). Also consider a shell layer to block any wind. Socks are your call. One pair usually still does fine, but I'm sure you'll all tell me about how I'm wrong if you're a two-pairer!
