Who has the runs?

Well, now that Thanksgiving dinner is over and pie is on the horizon, I have some time to think about Turkey Trots.

...

OK, now that that's over with, I'll post some pictures of a race that we did this morning to celebrate the day. We went down to Lynchburg (about an hour away), and did a 5K with about 1596 other people.


Nick came in second in his age group and 22nd overall with a time of 19:26, while I followed with a 22:33 (7th in age group and 100th overall).

The three boys had a great time and all finished in 34, 35, and 36 minutes, respectively.

As you can see, the weather was nice enough for Nick to dress down a bit, which all the ladies on the course enjoyed.

The best (but sad) part of the race was seeing a girl barf right before crossing the finish line (it was a pretty hilly course).

And for once I didn't have to sneak post-race food for the boys, since they ran the race themselves.

OK, time for pie.
