Frigid temps and a strong headwind made this medal all the more sweeter for those that finished the race.

This is the “medal” for the Hot Chocolate 15K that was held on November 4, 2012 in Chicago, Illinois.

A mug is totally appropriate for this run. Even better would be if it were filled with hot chocolate and marshmallows at the finish line!

*Update* What do you know…it was! Here is a photo of Dianna drinking her hot chocolate as she enjoys the view of the Sears Tower.
