Just because Prancer has been too lazy to post in months doesn't mean that the Dears have been in hibernation! No way!! Let's catch you up!
April 3 - Home Team 10K - Prancer sat this one out because of the hoof in a cast, but Dasher (and Dasher's buck), Vixen and Comet represented the herd in fine style. Afterwards, we all closed down the afterparty!
April 10 - Shamrock Shuffle 8K - Woo hoo! Prancer's run this too many years in a row to let the cast stop that, so she shuffled along with an appropriated-decorated cast and was thrilled to cross the finish line hand in hand with Bambi, a new runner. Vixen, Comet and Dasher participated as well. Blitzen has baby on board, but she and the Mayor were there to cheer us on. Oh yeah, we had Uncle Dick with us too. Joyousness! Once again, the afterparty at Buckingham Fountain and then at Kitty O'Shea's made it one for the record books.
April 23 - Bunny Run 5K - The herd celebrated Comet's birthday by doing this fun run in Lincoln Park. Prancer fell madly in love with a llama.
May 28 - Soldier Field 10 Miler - Comet's first time! Wooo hooo, Comet! Vixen was there, but runnin' rogue. Cold day, so Prancer and Dasher spent the post-race huddled up under a blanket. Met Dasher's buck and some other friends in Lincoln Park afterwards for a post-race party/crawfish feast. Yum, or something like that!
June 4 - Girls on the Run 5K - Hot day! Dasher and Prancer accompanied Dasher's little doe and took time out to jump in the lake-- literally!
Although not official Reindear races, kudos to Vixen and her doe for a fabulous showing at Race to the Taste, and to Dasher for doing us all proud at her "extreme race"-- Running With The Devil half-marathon in Vegas, complete with hills and 95 degree temps. Dasher, you're a marvel.
Upcoming races are Teb's Troops 5K on July 16 and Champions Race 5K on August 6.
