The Rudolph Ramble was awesome. Sammi and I slept over at Shelly's apartment in the city the night before (and went out to a party at Bridget's) so we were super tired! Luckily Shelly gave us a ride to the race (it was right by Lincoln Park Zoo). Jenie, Brock and Eric met us at the race. Sammi was our lovely photographer/holder of all of our stuff :) It was really cute, they handed out antlers for everyone to wear during the race (so of course I had to) and Santa was there to take pictures with. It was all for a good cause: Lurie Children's Hospital. They had the cutest "reindeer dash" after the race that the kids all did, I can't wait for Dylan to do that!
I had never done an 8k before, but I loved the distance (it is just under 5 miles). It was my first race running with Eric and I reaaaaally wanted to beat him - and I did (barely). I'm sure it helped that he doesn't really run outside ever, but oh well :) It was a super fast race but I was really happy with how it went. Here were my stats:

I love this race!! It is at Woodstock North High School (so close to home) and my school always creates a team to participate in it! This year Dylan joined us - Laura was nice enough to walk the whole race with him in the stroller so I could still run! I ran the whole race with Amy and we kicked major butt! We went super fast & both placed in our age groups - I never thought that would be possible since there are SO many people that run/walk the race! Maybe it was because we were running where we run all the time - who knows?!
Jenie & Brock also came and ran the race with us :) Results:
Jenie & Brock came to Woodstock to do the Woodstock Challenge - we signed up for the 10k instead of the 5k!
It was my first 10k and I was super excited! I did okay (the last hill was a killer) & Jenie did awesome, she got a medal! :) We got to play in the pool after the race and Dylan had a lot of fun! Results:
