Turkey Trot Time: Are You Registered?
It's that time of the year again! Time to eat turkey, enjoy the carbs and load up on desserts. What better way to mitigate the damage than to sign up for a Thanksgiving Day run. Our tradition in this household is to run the Hermes Cleveland Turkey Trot. Since moving here in 2003, I have not missed a T-Day race. Thursday's race will mark my 7th year of running! Some years I've tackled the 5-miler, and while pregnant with Bridget in 2006, I ran the 1-mile family fun run. Last year all four of us participated and Megan even got her picture taken with the Couch Potatoes Running Group. It was great fun! Now, we all know that a one mile run is NOT going to offset having two different potatoes and a dessert being served, but it's quality (and healthy) time with my family. So this year, I will be thankful that Greg, Meg and B indulge their mom with a morning run. So what are you waiting for? Get registered!

ReplyDeleteif you ever want to shake it up - there is a Thanksgiving 10k at LCCC that is fabulous (cross country!) with great prizes ( turkey trophies, food & silly stuff) including for one for last turkey in the barn! It is notorious in that the course was not shortened that whiteout year but you can shower right there so we survived.
Glad you had such a great trip!
