We Believe 5k @ WWC
The WWC held their traditional holiday Santa run the "We Believe" 5k trail race and dog jog. Definitely, this was a different race this year. They started both the 5k race and the Dog Jog at the same time and on the same course. This wasn't an ideal situation. Dogs were all over the place. Dog owners had their dogs on longer than normal leashes so they would just wonder right over in front me. Trying to maneuver through them was equally hard. You never know how a dog will react on a narrow trail. I came away just shaking my head. Definitely, I will keep this mind for next year. There are a number of races this time of year. I may just be off finding one of them. But hey, once I got clear of either the dogs from them slowing down or their owners slowing down, I finished in 21:58 to place 5 OA, and 2nd in my age group. I do love running and race at the WWC, but some days, I just walk away wondering what they were thinking. The Cool Down Runner
