First annual Allison family Christmas Eve Run


David and I started a family tradition with our first annual Christmas Eve run. Because of our marathon training schedule, we had a 6 mile run, which is a pretty good length for offsetting all our "Eve" celebration calories. We were able to eat my family's traditional steak teriyaki, shrimp fried rice, chocolate delight and fruit cake cookies relatively guilt-free.

The run was good, with a slight chill in the air but not too cold, pretty typical of a Mobile, AL Christmas. The Santa hats were a nice touch, and had the added effect of keeping our heads nice and warm.

It went so well, we're thinking of instituting a New Year's Day run, complete with "Happy New Year" hats.
