First Annual Coach Gina and Rose's Christmas Eve Morning Half Marathon

I think we have to come up with a shorter race title, but this morning's First Annual Coach Gina and Rose's Christmas Eve Morning Half Marathon was a success!  We have 5 pregnant runners in our group and wouldn't you know if you break 13.1 miles into 5 pieces, the result is 2.62 miles a piece??!!  Genius!!  So we had an informal half marathon and "Preggo Relay" as Coach liked to call it. 
Coach even made us medals!

We did 5 (different) loops of 2.62 miles a piece for an awesome early-morning half marathon! 
 In fact, it was less than 5 minutes off my best half marathon time!
Afterwards, everyone had to jet off to get to their respective families' houses but I had a bit of time to kill and was STARVING, so I stopped off at our local diner and had quite possibly the best breakfast ever!

Yes, there was whip cream on top of the hot chocolate, but I had to dive right in before I thought to take a pic :)

Now it's off to my sister's house to celebrate Murphy Family Christmas with these delicious things in tow:
pumpkin pie decorated with reindeer
and yummylicious brownies for hot-fudge sundaes!!

Merry Christmas everyone!!
