    Great job, @Scott6255 ! You were so close, I'm sure you can hit your BQ goal if you keep trying. Awesome that you're running at that level!

    Congratulations also to @quilteryoyo, you rocked that race!

    I also love @kgirlhart not even planning to run a race, and then going and winning it!

    @Laurz9191 FYI (in case you didn't already know) Before you take your tree into the house, give it a thorough blast of bug spray. If you don't, every creepy crawly that is sheltering in it will wake up as soon as the tree warms up. Please don't ask me how I know this...

    @Tramboman - Ha! Kinda like that time we discovered a mouse in our tree (among other things) after we brought it in the house...

    @Scott6255 - Congratulations!! Taking 15 mins off your PR is awesome. It is too bad you missed the BQ but you now know it its definitely a possibility and plenty of time to try again! Love the picture with your family - so cool that you all ran it!

    @Scott6255 Wow a 15 minute PR is huge! I definitely see a BQ in your future if you want it. I love that your family was able to do the race with you too. It makes a race into a family memory. I love it when I have family members run races with me.

    @tarun_yadavA Snow is pretty to look at but not my favorite to be in. I like it from the window.

    Thanks again everyone!!!!!!!!! Yes it was very special to have 3 family members run it with me. It was the 1st marathon for all of them, so everybody got a PR on Sunday :)
    And my son texted me this morning that he is going to start training and wants me to run the Austin 5K with him this February :)<3:)

    Austin in Feb is hit or miss. Might look like London. Lol

    Congratulations on your 5K @Fit2btied2016 . Sounds like you have caught the running bug!


    Just caught up on the thread. Thanks so much to everyone for the kudos on my race.

    Congratulations on your first place win on your 5K too! @kgirlhart ! Excellent time. It's great that you and the lady motivated each other.

    @Teresa502 You did great with your run on Saturday. Which park did you run in?

    @Laurz9191 That's a beautiful picture of the Christmas trees. We used to cut down our own out of our field when I was little. They smell soooo good. Sorry to hear that the family is sick. I hope you all feel better soon!

    @AlphaHowls Hugs to you. Do you get SADD? I think we all do to some extent. My dad would get it pretty badly, even though it was never diagnosed as such.

    @Scott6255 Sorry you didn't BQ this time, but hitting your goal pace AND getting a 15 min PR is AMAZING! Love your family photo too.

    @Tramboman One of my most vivid Christmas memories was waking up one morning and seeing a ton of little insects running all over the living room. Apparently a praying mantis egg sac had been hiding in the Christmas tree and they had hatched out after getting heated up in the house. It took us forever to get them all out of the house.

    @tarun_yadavA Wow. I guess I didn't realize it snowed that much in London. It's beautiful.

    @Scott6255 So awesome that your son is catching the running bug too!

    @martaindale I'm glad that your plan is working and you are able to run without any pain. You're doing great!

    @quilteryoyo great that you found a local shop to fix your tire, and they were fast and inexpensive! I love to find small local shops.
    @martaindale good decision on not pushing it on your Achilles. You are doing great. Race(s) will be here before you know it!
