The Istocks had a wonderful Christmas. We spent a lot of time with family and friends. New Years Eve was a blast also. Tim, Kenzie, and I ran the 5.5k Running of the Lights held at Tanglewood Park in Clemmons, NC. The race begins precisely at midnight as runners watch the dropping of the ball from Times Square on a big screen located at the starting line. The run winds through the park amongst thousands of lighted Christmas displays while fireworks explode high in the cold night sky. Temperature at race time was 36 degrees, but skies were clear and most runners warmed up shortly after take off. Tim came in 3rd in the Masters group, Kenzie came in 8th in her age group, well I will not discuss what number I was for my age group. It was a lot of fun and we started our New Years off with exercise rather than what we usually do which is trying to see if we can hang in there and not fall asleep on the couch before the new year rings in. This is the second time Tim and I have participated and the first for Kenzie. We hope to make it an annual event.
