2015 dash before the splash photos :D

 

the new year kicked off this morning with a few windy miles at compo beach!  if it wasn't for the wind chill factor, the sunny weather by itself would have been great for running.  the actual dash was just over 2.7 miles, but i ran a little longer to bring it up to 4.2 miles before heading over to the watch the splashers brave the freezing water!  every year i toy with the idea of joining them - yet managing to come to my senses (a/k/a chickening out) before coming into contact with the water :O

 

happy new year to everyone! 

 

here are the rest of my photos posted on facebook.

2013 dash before the splash 5k+

for the second year in a row i headed over to compo beach in westport for an easy 5k fun run before a bunch on intrepid polar bears took their annual plunge into the long island sound.  and, for the second year in a row, i skipped the plunge - and stuck to the run (which, incidentally, stretched closer to 3.5 miles than a 5k) :D

maybe next year for the plunge :O
