Will Run for Hot Chocolate
August 30, 2011 1 Comment
Hot Chocolate is every kid’s favorite thing over the winter. I would always throw in the mini marshmallows on top and then eat them before they melted. When I was living in Chicago, before the days of me liking a run of over 4-5 miles, I had heard of the Hot Chocolate 15K which is usually held in November. Besides getting awesome JACKETS (instead of t-shirts which I have more then enough of), the post race party gives out HOT CHOCOLATE! What’s even better is that it’s Ghirardelli Hot Chocolate.
Fast forward to this weekend. I was searching for races for later on this year and typed in the Hot Chocolate 15K and by golly, they have a 15K in Washing DC!!! A racewhere I get a jacket and hot chocolate at the end :-). Granted, we’re talking 9.3 miles in 35 degree weather on December 3 and the run is along the National Harbor. A December run along a body of water means a bitterly cold wind effect. Did I mention there’s hot chocolate involved? And that it’s Ghirardelli?
I’m thinking I need to form a Hot Chocolate Run team. Team Marshmallow, Team Snow Day, maybe even Team Snowball. Anyone interested??? Awesome Jacket included!!
