It's time to get EXCITED for our 2008 THANKSGIVING DAY TURKEY TROT 5K

Now why in the world would we want to go out on THANKSGIVING DAY and go 3.1 miles?

Glad you asked

Well, if spending time with your family doing something healthy ~ burning off a few calories before dinner so that pumpkin pie looks a little less guilty ~ starting a new habit before the up-coming :new year: New Year's Resolutions come due ~ kicking some of that "little buddy"(as Angie calls my belly) to the curb ~ getting out of the house for a much needed "been cooking all dang day" break ~ celebrating all the good habits you did start this year ~ or you just want to get out with the girls and ....this 5K is for you!

DATE OF RACE ~ The race will run from Thursday through Sunday, November 27th through 30th...early bird specials are allowed... even the "I forgot all about it" until 2 days later...

I'm in again! They have an official Turkey Trot here, that I will be participating in TDay morning with my hubby and sister!
Gotta earn that 2nd piece of pie

I'm ready for this one.. I'll be walking, probably on the treadmill.... as long as my ortho appointment week after next goes well. If not, I may be hobbling on one leg. Maybe by this time next year, I'll be up to running one again.

Dee

Yes - I'm IN!!!

I'm planning on it!

Jet and I are RARING to go! Count me and my shadow in.

I will start the sign ups tomorrow...

if you have a #number# you would like to get again let me know.

Sign me up too! I am going to run the whole thing this time!

I'm in! #69, if it's available. You can put me in the semi-elite, birdwatching category.

I'm in! Can I have #311? Virgin category please (haven't been able to say THAT for a very long time!)

Just one slightly silly question --- what date is Thanksgiving? I could google it, but I'm too lazy. Cheers!

Thursday Nov. 27th, Ruth

I'm in. May I have #47 again?

Thanks! Now, let me get this straight - I run 5K, take a pic and post my time here. Is that all?

RUTH...you can run it...bike it...walk it...mall it!

We don't care how you do 3.1 miles...just do it...

pictures are nice...we encourage it...but not required
