First of all.... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! We had the pleasure again of rining in the new year in New York City... just NOT in Times Square. We ran in the Annual Midnight Run in Central Park. It was a GREAT time... eventhough it was around 15 degrees with a windchill of -5!! This year we figured out EXACTLY where to park, picked up our numbers and shirts, then headed to a bar to warm up before we would freeze during the race. And this was a great idea... after a few drinks we were ALL READY TO RUN! We met up with another runner at the bar and gabbed for a while and then headed out to the race area. We got our "free nuts" since Emerald Nuts was the sponsor this year, and then made our way to the start line. We all did a countdown to new years along with the rest of NYC, then got to watch the fireworks (the pics are a bit blurry since I was walking....) as we were walking to the start line. The "champagne toast" at the 2 mile mark was "refreshing" since it was more of a slushy due to the temps... but it's a GREAT way to start 2009 in a NICE and HEALTHY way!!! If you are ever in the NYC area for new years, check into this race... it's a blast!!! Here are some pics of our night....
