Yesterday Amy P and I met up at the Fort Worth Running Company (FW Run CO, for the hipsters), around 6pm so we could run their annual Christmas Tree run. It's when a large 'herd' of people run from the FW Run CO to the Big A Christmas tree in Sundance square (1.5 miles), take a picture, then turn around and head back. Last year they had Adidas mugs with hot chocolate and Baileys! This year it was the FW RUN CO mugs with hot coco and cookies!
Well, it was hovering around 32 degrees when we started out and let me tell you- that is brisk for this girl. I was wearing a long sleeve tech shirt, a short sleeve shirt, a hoodie over that, ear warmers, capris and gloves! Obviously, over dressed as I was sweating like mad, but the minute I would take something off, I'd freeze!
The way up to the Christmas tree has a particularly unkind uphill, but it was fun to push! I like running in urban areas because you get to stop at all the red lights!
We made it to the Tree and it's huge! There were couples dancing around it, twinkle lights everywhere and lots of music! Because it was so cold, the runners weren't lallygagging and they got that picture done ASAP.
Of course we managed to take a few ourselves:
Heading back to the store was not a jog. It was a RUN. Holy hell, it felt awesome. We were some of the first back to the store (don't ask me how that happened) and we got our tasty treats!

It was a ton of fun and I'm so glad we did it! Needless to say, I was frozen by the time I got home so I was grateful for hot showers and warm soup!
