Christmas Eve 5K+

Happy Christmas Eve from beautiful central Missouri!  This afternoon it was in the low 40's with minimal wind and a fair bit of sunshine when I headed out for my Christmas 5K.  I'm not sure what tomorrow afternoon's schedule will be so I wanted to be sure to get it in.  I did a slightly different 5K - from my house over the river and next to the woods (to Modern Litho, not Grandmother's) and back.  Started with a hat and gloves, but stuck them in my pockets as I warmed up.  I mapped it ahead of time to be sure to get in at least 3.1 miles.  Map My Ride says 3.32 miles.  I finished in 44:50 for an average of 13.5 min miles.  Not bad since I did the first part as a walking warmup.  I ran up most of the crazy hill by Wavco - more to get it over with than anything. 

Got home and had to look up on the internet how to use my self-timer as my kiddos had gone for a drive with daddy.  So you get what you get with this pic - when I zoom in on it, I can read my name and bib number (12242011).  Can't figure out how to crop out more of my front yard.  Sorry for the hat hair.

Merry Christmas to all of you!  Here is a little shot of yesterday's goings on to spread some holiday cheer:
