Creve Coeur 5K Snowball Series # 4

I think I am slipping in the rankings, but such a beautiful day for a run around Creve Coeur park

I had to run on my own because Sam thought he would not be able to walk that far.  Wish he could have gone with me because he hasn't made it 2 years in a row and it really is a perfect course.  I may even start going out there every week

Snowball series run #3-New Year's Day in Forest Park

Had to run on my own since Sam's heel is still bothering him.  It was pretty much the same weather as last year, about 35 degrees and killer wind.  My teeth were hurting by the end!!!!

Reindeer Run in Tower Grove Park. Snowball series #2

Snowball Series-Run 1 Queeny Park

Last of the Snowball Series

The snowball series is done. I was pretty slow yesterday, but the course was not completely flat and that really makes me struggle.  I need to work on running uphill.  It was a beautiful day and a great run.

At the end of the series, I did pretty well, at least I was the fastest 57 year old woman doing the runs!!!  We will definitely be doing these runs next year.

Snowball series #4

The 4th run in the Snowball Series was this morning round Creve Coeur lake.  I made pretty good time (maybe my fastest run yet) but it was nice and flat, so I should run faster.  I had to run on my own because Sam was working today.  The weather was cold, but still good for running.  I wore exactly the right amount of clothes.  Also ran in my new shoes.
I haven't ever been out there, seems like a great place to run, I need to go more often.  Drove back to take a picture of the frozen waterfall

First run of 2016

We ran the 5 mile Forest Park run in the Snowball Series yesterday morning.  It was pretty cold when we got started, but the sun was out and it turned out to be really nice.  Sam waited for me, so his time is much slower than would be normally.  I am now #17 out of 48 in the series ranking.  Not bad at all since I am so slow these days!!!!

Reindeer Run 2015

The second run of the Snowball Series was at Tower Grove Park this morning.  Even though my legs haven't fully recovered from last Sunday, I still did pretty well.
