Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday weekend. 
I’ve been taking it easy (running-wise) since my last race but couldn’t miss the Thanksgiving Turkey Trot in our town.  It’s become a tradition to participate with our good friends, Neil and Marcia—this was our 10th year in a row!

The temperature was a frigid 18F—the coldest race I can remember.  There were many fewer runners due to the cold; nevertheless, 1200 people raced and there were a remarkable number of spectators.  I came in 9th out of 61 women in my age group despite frozen feet :)

Helen took this picture of me coming up on the finish line!

I can’t slack off from training for much longer.  I still hope to complete my usual 1000 miles of running this year (I’m at 910) and then it will be time to start preparing for spring races!

NF Update:
Black Friday, Small-Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday don't hold a candle to #GivingTuesday! If you're looking to donate to an excellent cause, then look no further than the Children's Tumor Foundation! Help us #EndNF
