It was so energizing! There were pace groups, so people wouldn't get lost, and there were "carrolling stops" where all the runners would gather to sing Christmas songs - once in front of the huge White House Christmas tree, once grouped in a circle around another smaller one - The Blue Christmas Tree - that was entirely decorated with ornaments from the families of police officers who had been killed in the line of duty. A totally unique run!
* Life is change.
** Born in New Jersey. (A Jersey Girl, but I don't know "What Exit".) I went to college in Iowa. (NOT in a cornfield, but close.) I was a New Yorker. The proverbial Struggling Actor in Manhattan, and surviving pretty well for 20-something-ish years (I *heart* New York.)
*** Now I live below the Mason-Dixon line. (But I'm born and bred a YANKEE.)
***For awhile, I was an avid-almost-rabid runner, running WITH my camera much of the time. I have been experiencing some "aging ? and other issues", but I still doggedly clod-hoppily-plod my way through events, camera usually in hand. Now I'm even SLOWER than I used to be. *** :-P ***
** I used to help socialize local humane society cats in their foster home, and take photos for the website, but my Haven kitties moved to a farm in Virginia in May 2018. ~meow~
Awaiting my next incarnation, or not....***
I still have a phondness for photography & a recurring Flickr Addiction, so go see my photos!

Amazing, wonderful. I have always desired a run like that in a Xmas time night "enveloped" by all those lights in a magic atmosphere.
