THEY GIVE YOU JINGLE BELLS TO TIE TO YOUR SHOES DURING THE RACE!
Yes, I kept mine on until Feb. 14th one year, and only took them off because I figured people might get annoyed during the Valentine's Massacre Relay.

I promise not to wear them on Sunday's long run until after we finish. Also on Saturday, the Get Fit NC Road Race is in Wake Forest (9AM) and the Reindeer Romp 5k is at the WakeMed Soccer complex (10AM).

And, here's a new take on the Running of the Bulls:
