Are we ready for Week 3?! From Thursday to Wednesday (12/12 - 12/18), find as many of these items as you can while out on your walk, run, or hike.
This week’s set of items are as follows -
Ugly Sweater Run - get your photo in a Christmas sweater or your best running outfit! FLRC’s group run is on Saturday, we think you’ll get a few good photos if you show up, find more details here.
Best decorations found on your run - if you haven’t got yours up by now, then it’s now only a week away…
Seven Swans-a-swimming - or a photo at a body of water
Eight Maids-a-milking - cows, goats or (chocolate?) milk on a run!
Nine ladies dancing - or have a little dance with a run with a friend!
Once you find your item, take a selfie or picture and post it on this thread. Remember, for every selfie or picture of one of these items that you post, you get one point. The runner(s) with the most points will be entered into the swag drawing at the end of the event. And, while five might seem to be the high score, I as the omnipotent race director get to award extra points based on particularly creative or artistic photos, or those that get lots of “likes” here on the Forum.
A bunch of us went running in Danby on Sunday morning. We stopped to take a photo of some goats. After that, we realized that there were nine of us, so we took a “nine ladies dancing” photo, though it was too cold to move our limbs far enough from our bodies to look like we were dancing.
I took a little video but try as I might it wouldn’t download.
My treadmill was certainly my friend today as the roads are all ice, so I did a little happy dance. Happy too that the treadmill allows me to do Adam’s track workouts on my own. Thanks Adam!
While out running yesterday, I was thinking about the items I have yet to find this week. Decorations should be easy, right? Our house is the only one I run by that has anything visible from the road, just some holiday lights.
I was born and raised in rural Northern Idaho, and my last holiday in Idaho with my family was when I was a senior in high school. For at least the past 20 years, my parents make and send my family a wreath. The boughs are cut from my family’s property, and typically the wreaths are made and decorated the day after Thanksgiving. My wreath always includes a small bough of Western white pine (what I am pointing to), the Idaho state tree.
