Thanks so much for reading, I’m glad you found me! I did the 10K, but it was definitely a lot of fun. Would definitely recommend! It’s a beautiful park and, let’s face it, the hot chocolate at the end is just plain delish. ;)

The only race I found in the dates that i’m there is the Riverside Park Hot Chocolate Run so I googled it and found your blog! So happy I did. Looks like we have a some in common based on the WW and running although, you’re a lot farther ahead, you’ve done so well! And you are FAST! Not sure if they have more than one Hot Chocolate run per year or if they changed the date this time around, the one I’m looking at is for December 1st. Now i’m off to cruise around your blog a little more :)

Nelson Tue, 05 Feb 2013 03:15:41 +0000 http://thefinalforty.wordpress.com/?p=1359#comment-237 Hi! Thanks so much for reading, and for your kind words. That’s so cool that we were at the same race! And I’m sure if you saw a sparkly skirt, it was me…I was definitely the only idiot wearing an “outfit,” haha.

Sorry to hear it wasn’t the best race day experience for you. Those hills killed me, too, and I definitely didn’t start warming up until I was well into the second mile. Definitely not ideal racing conditions!

That’s awesome about the Princess Half — I have no idea where I’ll be, I totally forgot to submit a time! So I’ll be bringing this race’s results to the expo, for sure. Maybe I’ll see you there! Good luck! :)

I’m excited — and downright terrified — to train for the DDD! I don’t know what I was thinking…I’m just hoping to survive, haha. But I cannot WAIT to visit Disneyland for the first time! :)

I actually think I saw you. I dropped out of the race after a mile. I was cold, intimidated, and winded from that first crazy hill. I was pretty sure I saw someone in a Sparkly skirt, and was impressed! Good luck at PHM-I’ll be in one of the last corrals!
I’m excited to see you chronicle your training for the Dumbo Double Dare. I am considering signing up for the Goofy-I waver every day!
