I joined with other members of the Highlands Ranch Running Club for a 6 mile run to view the Christmas lights in a local neighborhood. It was a really mild night for December and I am beginning to enjoy running at night and in the cold. Cold-weather running gear has made such strides in recent years that running can be a 12 month sport - even in the coldest climates.
The HRRC is a great group of people who really support each other. It is one of the few sports where everyone can relate to each other and participate together regardless of their pace. I have been surprised by the lack of 'ego' in this sport - at least at the amateur level. Whether you are a marathoner, run 5ks or 10ks, ultra-marathoner, etc. there has been no signs of the 'I am better than you' syndrome.
Thursday is a day off and then I run 14 miles on Friday.
