Ugly Sweater 5K

Ugly Sweater 5K Los Angeles, Samuel Adams

Yesterday I ran the Ugly Sweater 5K. Usually I don’t think a 5K is good value for money, but this was on Groupon for $20, so I thought, what the heck.Ugly Sweater 5K Los Angeles, Samuel Adams

Let me tell you something, Interwebs. Trying to run after the first week of Insanity is perhaps not a great idea. Especially when you gasp in pain when you walk downstairs.

Still, I didn’t do too terribly bad. I secretly wanted to do a 10-minute mile, but I’m not quite there yet.

This was a fun race, even if it was just around the park a few times. The park was decorated, a lot of runners were in costume, and there was a DJ with electronic Christmas music.

Plus, it was sponsored by Samuel Adams.

Beer is a surprisingly good recovery drink.

    1. I was surprised too – I thought it was just a gimmick for the race, but it really was refreshing.
      Merry Christmas, my friend.
