The Turkey Trot

A few weeks ago...
My sister texted me and asked if I wanted to run on Thanksgiving day; a 5K somewhere.  It would be fun she said, plus I have been wanting to run 4 races this year and didn't do not-a-one this summer.  I checked around on the internet and found a race in Sherwood, $25 bucks and travel time.  Not what either of really wanted to do...so we said we would run 3.1 miles on Thanksgiving morning.  No problem.  Just her and I.  Fun.  I was really looking forward to it. 

Last week...
My sister tells me that she got us t-shirts, mapped on route on map-my-run.com and let's round up some people to run!  OK. 

Thanksgiving Day...
9:00 Eleven of us met at our mom's house, tried to stay warm and headed off down the road in our matching t-shirts.  What a blast!  So fun to be running in the cool, crisp air with friends...well at least for the first 2 minutes.  They all were a block ahead of me after that and I just watched the backs of them! 

We have some ideas for the 2nd annual Turkey Day 5K.  (More to come!)

Another Race in the Future

My sister and I wanted to run a Turkey Trot, but the closest one was in Sherwood and it costs 25 bucks.  Soooooo, Anna got some Tshirts designed, we both gathered some people (about 9) and got a run all mapped out.  We are ready to hit the road at 9:00 AM on Thanksgiving day! 

I am so thrilled because this will be the third race this year and one more coming Dec. 5th...so four 5K's this year!  Yeah!

A Great Run

Miranda and I ran 3 miles tonight...it was slightly tough with 2 larger hills, but the great news is that we ran and held a conversation pretty much the whole time.  We are getting stronger and better at running.  It seems we are running more efficiently.  I sure do enjoy running with her, she is a great partner and keeps me going.  I love how she is stronger and faster than me and keeps me at a quicker pace. It has been a fun journey!
