Thanksgiving / Turkey Trot


Yet another Thanksgiving has passed. It was a great day! I made my potatoes the night before so I could get up and run the Turkey Trot.  This was my first race since I started running in minimal shoes. I loved it! I ran faster than I have run in a long time. I ran in my Vibram five finger shoes, and my time was 48.22 for a 10k.  My legs are a little sore, but other than that I feel great! 
After the race I went home, cleaned myself up and we headed to my parents house for a relaxed, yummy Thanksgiving meal.  
We went to the park afterwards and met more family. We had dessert, the kids played, and we had great conversation.
I love Thanksgiving. I am so grateful for a wonderful family and the many blessing that I have been given.
