Hi everyone! As I mentioned yesterday , I ran my final race of the year on Sunday- the Jingle Bell 5k. Today I'm going to be recapping of the race. I'll start with an overview, followed by a breakdown of the location, event, course, and how I did. Location Overview This is a race that I've done years and years ago at North Park, but it was recently relocated to the North Shore in Pittsburgh.

Hi Gretchen!
ReplyDeleteI tried to send a message, but it would not accept either of my e-mail addresses? My friend who loves your blog recommended I reach out to you about an upcoming racing event for our organization. It is called The Most Amazing Race, and it is a unique fundraising event. It is patterned after The Amazing Race on CBS. Teams of two compete in physical and mental challenges throughout Pittsburgh. Proceeds of this event go to Salvation Army Youth Programs in Allegheny County.
If you have time, I'd love to talk to you about the race in person of over the phone! We'd love for you to be involved with this event.
Please let me know your thoughts!
