Cedar Hollow Turkey Trot

Jonny (with Gabe and Julia!), Melody (with Evy), Turpins, Pecks, Drew and Julie


Happy Thanksgiving! This year a neighbor of Amber's asked to host her annual race for his Eagle Scout Project. We all braced ourselves and ran the three cold, windy miles. Not wanting to leave the kids out, we piled both jogging strollers in the van and ran as a complete family for the first time! Jonny and I took it easy and stuck together. (That is not something that happens often and I really loved running beside Jonny.) The kids hopped out at the last half mile or so to run it in. Then we hopped right back in the van to warm up all the little red noses and cheeks! 









P.S. What little running I have been doing for the past few months has been on and off in my new Saucony Kirvana shoes. They has a 3 mm heel drop. I may work my way down to 0 drop shoes but I felt like I needed a more transitional shoe first. This is the fist race I have run in them. They felt pretty good!
