so get on your feet and drum out that beat

I didn’t #votebybike this time! Instead, knowing we have a race coming up, hyounpark and I jogged the mile-plus up to our local ballot box to drop off our votes. Afterwards, we walked over to PennDel's for post-election treats: an apple strudel for me, a chocolate cookie and necessary caffeination for him. And then we ran home. And I managed to do both of the running legs without a walking interval!

In order to not obsess over what is now out of my hands, I’m focusing on said upcoming race. I don’t think I’m making my original stretch goal of running the entire PG 5k without walking intervals; being sick last week set me back from my PRs in New York. But I think I might be able to do it by Hot Chocolate in January, the first 5k I ever did back at the beginning of this year. And I might even be able to run the entire Cookie Run next month, since it’s slightly shorter than a 5k and it’s likely the temperature will be in the low 40s, maybe even the high 30s.

So I've got a race for cookies and a race for chocolate. H wants to know if there's a race for pizza. (Yes, apparently there is; sadly, we just missed it as it was in Brooklyn in mid-September, and you have to eat the pizza during the run. It looks like there's another one in Hoboken around the same time where the pizza is at the finish line.) I do have the Hotdish Hot Dash on my radar! :D
