The Pumpkin Run is the first run in the Winter Run Series! I signed up for this series and run as a promise to myself that I would continue to put work my health and fitness throughout the winter. This run and series is my way of holding myself accountable while being fun!

The Pumpkin run was well organized and even though there was a glitch in the scoring they discovered and corrected the issue within 48 hours. The race itself offers both a 5K and a 10K, being a relatively beginner runner I opted for the 5K. Everyone was so encouraging and friendly and I absolutely loved the charitable component of donating coats, hats, and mittens!

My team and I loved our Ragnar experience! The only negative is the lack of race management communication. There was a weather delay due to a severe thunderstorm and the volunteers were not in the know and the text message alert system was down during that time and that was the only method of communication for both team captains and for the volunteers.

Besides for the sweltering heat and lack of sleep, our van mates grew close and we enjoyed our craziness!

I really was glad I signed up for the Tough Mudder Wisconsin in September 2015. I recruited my sister-in-law to join me, also her first time at the Mud Run. We wish we would have been able to convince some tall burly men to join our team because there were some challenging obstacles, thankfully after the first couple obstacles when people started realizing some obstacles were designed to require larger groups of people to work together. The camaraderie with strangers was amazing, I'd do it again in, not sure if in 2016 (the date lands on my birthday so we shall see).
