Ran in Elmira yesterday and they’ve hung a wreath on the outside of the Wegmans. Look by my ear and squint!
Wore one of each of my favorite pairs of socks:

Wore one of each of my favorite pairs of socks:
Socks while getting ready. Got the wreath on my way out our door. Menorah on the way to my run, a quick drink of water at Mundy Wildflower parking. Said hello to some cows up at Cornell, off of Magowen Rd.
Humm, homemade honey stingers
Or with miss matched socks
Cows, cows and more cows
And perhaps one big bull
And one wreath for holiday sake
Didn’t think I would find a cow, but there it is! A very large wreath and the menora that we put up every year (as well as a Christmas tree).
Sport beans got me through today’s run. Hopefully I’ll remember to mismatch something on Saturday, lol.
@adamengst told me I have to do tempo runs so I did a tempo run at last. 2 miles @ 10k pace + 30 seconds, then 800m jog, then 4 x 200 at mile pace with 200 jog rest. It was bad, but not as bad as this pumpkin spice apple juice that I drank along the way. 0/10 do not recommend.
Week 3!! @scottpdawson and I did this in one SHORT run starting at the Dairy Bar on Cornell’s Tower Road. We kissed the cow in the Dairy Bar before taking mismatched sock selfies. We headed down the hill and found a Halloween wreath still hanging on a sorority house door. A little further we came upon the Chabad House to grab a pic of the menorah and then we headed back through campus. We paused at Baker Flagpole to enjoy a Honey Stinger waffle. Then for extra credit, we spotted another menorah in front of Willard Straight Hall.
Friday I needed to be on campus late so I walked home. Not a training walk, but still a walk, and went past this menorah on the Commons:
My schedule made it impossible to run in daylight (shame with such nice weather) so after getting home I once again hit the treadmill. This little stress cow - like a stress ball! - from the Syracuse Half Marathon goody bag joined me:
Now, I realized this cow was maybe possibly cheating since it was at my house, and yesterday I too hit the Dairy Bar to get a selfie with Cornelia the Cow:
Then I ran to Hillel to see if I could find a menorah but no dice! Further downhill, Chabad did have one, though the sign from Amy and Scott’s pic was down:
Thanks to this event for getting me out in the chilly rain, which I otherwise wouldn’t have done.
Same cow a few other people have posted.
The menorah outside of Willard Straight Hall.
Mismatched socks.
Fuel today was fruit snacks (not red efts!).
A bonus picture of the clock tower looking a little creepy in the mist.
Took me till today to complete the set this week!
Many, many wreaths on this house (you might have to zoom in, but every window has one…):
Some cows made from old tyres:
Tasty snacks on the Sapsucker Woods group run:
Mismatched socks, just before putting my shoes on this morning:
And an inflatable menorah!
Wreath, socks, and fuel were easy. I knew I wouldn’t find any menorahs in Spencer (Jews here keep a low profile), but was surprised that everyone near me or my run routes that used to have cows don’t any more.
And my Mennorah. If you squint a little you can see it here an ancient forest Mennorah. It took much searching to unearth this in the Florida drenching Monsoon
I kept trying to post these last two on Saturday and Sunday. but I just kept getting the message that I was not allowed to do that because I had already posted three times. Then I was flying and driving until well after midnight. So I know they are late but I posted them anyway. I just wanted to finish and even if they don’t count it’s ok.
The creativity continues! Out of the 12 participants for week 3, 9 of you found all five items! You are listed below, but this week’s race director’s choice is @HopeT for her festive wreath (and trees).
