A while back we decided to do a group run during every full moon this winter. Today just happened to be full moon but also a "super moon". This is when the moons eliptical orbit brings it closer to the earth. This causes it to appear larger and brighter!!
Last night, the moon was amazing, even though it still wasnt quit full. I did my run in the morning so I didnt need to run in the evening. Today however, the clouds started to roll in about 4PM and by 6PM the "super moon" was "super hidden" by thick cloud cover!!
But because we runners are stubborn people, we still went for our run!! Six of us met out at Evergreen Park and conquered 5 kilometers of snowy trails. Even though the moon was no where to be seen, it was still a beautiful night!!!
At the end of the 5 km run, my mileage for the month of December is 14 km. Quite a bit higher than I expected for the first 3 days of my 31 day running streak!!! My goal for the month is to raise $2,000 for "Kilometers For Kids" to purchase hats, mitts, and warm clothes to donate to the schools here in Grande Prairie. If you would like to help me reach my goal, follow this link to donate or search "Kilometers For Kids" on Race Roster.
