Children's TLC Groundhog Run 2011

A day after an icy plunge into Longview Lake, I ran the TLC Groundhog Run again this year (3rd year in a row). The Children’s TLC Groundhog Run is believed to be the only 5k/10k race in the nation that is totally underground (in the Hunt Midwest SubTropolis). With a consistent temperature of 65 to 68 degrees, one can ditch the running pants, jackets, hats and gloves in favor of shorts and a tank top. Approximately 3,500 runners competed in this annual winter event.

Running partners Amy and Traci.
High school friend, Phillip
