Annie Hall
Hello, it's me, Annie! Apparently, once a person just about hits the 20-year mark of living in MN, running around a lake in February (okay, training in Feb and doing it on March 2nd) with a bunch of other random weirdos and then jumping INTO the lake just starts to make sense. Annie, have you lost your marbles? YES! I've been Polar Plunge-curious for quite a while now, and I got back into my couch-to-5k program this past summer after a many-years hiatus, AND this winter has been tantalizingly mild enough that suddenly this whole Dash and Splash idea started to sound like something I could probably pull off! I'm happy to be raising money for the Special Olympics, AND mostly I am doing this for my mental and physical health, to have a little fun with a bunch of other people, to play hooky from work on a Saturday morning, and to kick off 2024 right! It's the year of the Dragon, and this year is going to be pretty different - I can feel it!
