Yesterday I completed the Hot Chocolate 15k. I have not been training to run so I joined a group of friends and we walked. We did run short spurts and that certainly made me miss running. Unfortunately my knees are old and I have some strengthening work to do before I attempt to get back at running.

Blogger Joanne Sisco, of My Life Lived Full, mentioned she expected to see photos of smiling faces at the finish…I certainly couldn’t let her down!

Start of the Hot Chocolate 15k

There were 12,000 participants.

The finisher cup!

The finisher cup contained hot chocolate, marshmallows, Rice Crispy Treats, and more unhealthy things. Unfortunately, 3 weeks ago I committed to a plant based diet that does not include these tasty treats….so I gave away what others would eat and patted myself on the back for sticking to the plan!

And now for the smiling faces…

The finisher photo!

Incase you are wondering I am the old girl on the left with the ice pack on my knee!
