Turkey Day

The Third Annual Turkey Day 5K sponsored by the Lake County Central YMCA ~ we've been in each year & I am the only one in my family who thinks it's a great idea...but, since I'm the mom, they all got up and dressed {Lots of layers on the chilly (22° & slightly snowy Thanksgiving morning}and off to the Y we went.  The run was good ~ a little icy in spots, so my time wasn't earth shattering {some day I'll get that 21} but at 23:44 it was good enough to win first in my age group {love being that 45 year old in the 45 to 49 age group}
We had to wait around for the awards to get my pie...and it's not such a good looking pie...but it's my award winner pie & I love it.
Had a great finish...heading to home {didn't realize it} but I'm running next to one of my XC dads.  He yells out, "Don't let me beat you, Becky." and the race was on.  Didn't know I had a sprint in me, but those competitive juices flow fast & I was off.  I think I just beat him, but it was a fun end either way.
The fam all finished well...Megan with a head cold {yuck} and John's first run with us.  It was a good morning.  Then we ate all day and now I need to go to bed!
So much to be thankful for in my world :)
