A New Thanksgiving Tradition: Turkey Trot

by This is Carrie on November 29, 2008

On Thanksgiving Day, my first 10K run turned into my first 10K swim. This is the winner who ran it in 29:22. I was RIGHT behind him, coming in at 1 hour 3 minutes. Not bad.

I did a turkey trot when I was pregnant the first time. It was a 5K, and I am pretty sure I skipped a large portion of the race by taking a short cut. It was fun…

I support the tradition of it, but the length and the rain? no thank you.

Jen November 30, 2008 at 3:56 pm: Wow…that’s a great time!!! Congrats…I didn’t even know you were running! Seeing the rain makes me feel a little better that we didn’t come to LA for Thanksgiving this year….I guess that storm probably took care of any remaining fires, huh?
