November 18 . . . Hot Chocolate, anyone? You only have to run 9.3 miles to get some! Rose Anne and I participated in the Hot Chocolate Columbus 15K on Sunday morning, November 18 with 3021 runners. Another 4641 runners participated in the 5K event . . a total of 7662 competing. Weather conditions perfect: 36 degrees at start with a slight breeze. Good event, however not one we would register for again. It was organized but not very "personable" being organized by RAM Racing, not a local organization. Proceeds benefitted the Ronald McDonald House charities. Rose Anne finished at 2:00:46, an 12:58 pace. I completed the race in 1:45:31 at an 11:20 pace. Mile 8 was a test with a steep incline going into downtown Columbus. The 15K route took us up High Street and through the OSU campus, past the "Shoe" . . probably as close as we will get to the OSU stadium unless the "Fighting Irish" come to town!
