The second annual Jingle Blast has finally found a date that makes most folks happy. So henceforth we’re officially on for Saturday January 2nd, 9am. We will be meeting in the North End to get our run on, followed by coffee & crumpets. Bring your tattered remnants of Christmas spirit and residual hangover, along with your present for me if you accidentally forgot to give me one before. Much like it’s cousin-in-spirit, the “Super Bowl”, the Jingle Blast now faces the challenge of being located in a different calendar year than the regular season, making it inappropriate to dub it Jingle Blast 2010 (since the inaugural was held in 2008 that makes it look like we skipped a year). And since nobody wants to end up running the Jingle Blast LDCXXXII I’ll stick this year’s race with the played out but technically accurate 2.0 suffix.
For posterity, here are the specs from last year’s race. I don’t assume the route will be identical but it should be similar in spirit. 4.2 BLAZING kilometers!
my training starts tomorrow!
Is there a special preggo division?? I’m a contender!
I think you’re thinking of the 100 meter waddle. And yes, you’re the current favorite.
Can’t wait! Can we run the tree route outlined? I’ll just run around in circles to make the star.
I’m in! A bit nervous because I don’t want to finish behind the preggo chick. Looking forward to JB 3.0 when Steve gets to push a baby stroller!
Fear not, I’m sure I’m the one who will finish behind the preggo!
In any case, winner gets to push the stroller on uphills for 3.0!
Are there medals? I’d like to mark the victory of coming in first in my division!
There is a prize, yes, courtesy of our corporate sponsor.
