Run Lit 2010

Seventeen PB runners braved the chill to run four miles adorned in festive lights Tuesday night as we celebrated the many holidays. We got lots of happy honks from the rush hour traffic and drank hot cocoa at the 2-mile marker where we watched the Vince and Associates light show. We warmed up with great conversation, dinner and drinks at Red Robin after the run.
