WOW!!! How time flies!

Seriously can't believe how long it's been since I have posted on here! In fact SO long I couldn't remember my password and just spent about 25 minutes trying to figure it out and reset it....GEESH!! I wanted to get up to date on things, but have let this whole year pass by without posting ANYTHING!! So much has happened too! I will have to sit down here VERY soon and just throw some monthly highlights up and then renew my efforts to post more regularly! Well it's worth a try at least!

The 43rd Annual Turkey trot

Dave and I thought we would start our Thanksgiving day this year with the Annual Turkey Trot in Dallas. So instead of getting up early to cook we were up and heading into Dallas to run a 5k. This was the 43rd year for the Turkey Trot and it has become a family tradition for a lot of people. There were stories of people whose parents brought them when they were little and now were bringing their kids. One man who had recently passed away, had run every trot since the beginning. It was quite a scene...young and old,big and small, pets and people dressed as Pilgrims, Indians and turkeys! We are hoping to go next year with the kids.


We enlisted our friends Jason and Lara to go with us.

Waiting for the race to start...it was SO cold! I think it was in the low 30's!!!


A shot of the crowd in front of us...there were just as many behind us and on the other side of the street!

It took us several minutes to cross the starting line...we had to continue walking several minutes after passing the start.


Almost to the mile mark...YES I took pictures while we were running!!


Feeling good!!!


Dave and Jason had started with us and then ran ahead, apparently we run too slow. They came back to run in with us and Dave was nice enough to run ahead again to snap a picture of us crossing the finish line.


Dave and I after the race.


Laura and I eating our after race snacks.


Dave thought this dog was pretty cool, maybe because they were wearing the same shirt size!


Dave juggling all the Gatorade and yogurt they were handing out by the handfuls!


Amazed that I would use the port-a-john!
