As the setting sun reflected off the wall of the building behind them, four runners readied themselves through individual rituals Friday before the start of the Jingle Bell run in downtown Bradenton.
Jennifer Reif had a minimalist approach, while Jennifer Urban, Savannah Adkins, 14, and Anna Urban, 7, twisted, bent and stretched their way to race-readiness.
Despite their seemingly serious intent, the striped socks on their feet and intermittent giggles proved what the event was really about.
Fun!
