The Trot

Saturday morning I finished the 5K Turkey Trot without stopping to walk (yes I consider this a huge accomplishment)! It was a beautiful day and I ran the race with 3 friends/co-workers. There were little kids (10 or 12 year olds) who were racing ahead of us the whole time. We found this annoying and so sprinted for the last .1 miles of the race to beat as many of them as possible, I think we passed 4 or 5. We later concluded that these kids weren't actually in better shape than we were, it was just that while we had been up late the night before carbo loading on beer they had been chowing down on candy and so had more sugar to burn.

Me and my biggest fan, Kelly:
Completing mile 1!!!! Woohoo!
