Jingle Bell Run

On Saturday, 13-DEC, a group from the Natatorium in Hot Springs Village participated as a group in the 3rd annual 5K Jingle Bell Run for Arthritis at Garvin Gardens in Hot Springs. We had a great group and even had our own head bands with "Nat Pack" on the front - how neat is that! Here's some of the Nat Pack:

Bob and Rosie rode to Hot Springs with Bob and Ana MacKendrick - friends from HSV. The two Bobs ran the 5 K while Ana and Rosie walked. Here's a picture of the 4 of us after the race. Note all the dogs in the background. Dogs are allowed and most were dressed in a Christmas theme.

Next, we have some Winners! Bob M. won first place in his age bracket. Bob C. won second place in the 55-60 age bracket.

During the celebration that followed, Bob and Rosie actually won one of the prizes (random draw of bib numbers). We won a night at the Austin hotel in Hot Springs. Maybe we'll go over in the winter time (January) and have a "spa night". Here we are the surprised winners.

The day was a bit chilly and windy, but we all had fun. See you next year at the Garvin Gardens Jingle Bell Run!
