What better way to celebrate thanksgiving then running a 5k? I know it doesn't sound very festive, but in reality it makes complete sense to run the morning before a huge dinner. Digestive system kick start! 
Now to be safe Priscilla, Jason, and I wanted to practice the route before the actual race. Couldn't be more happy that we did! I was grateful to know how long it would take and what hills I would have to face. Also my legs were so sore the next day I could barely walk..... Apparently there is truth to this training thing... to build endurance...who knew?
The day of the race people were pretty stoked to be there, dressed up like pilgrims, wearing funny hats. I mean even The Flash came to celebrate.I personally did very well, shaving off about 11 mins of my time from the same race a couple years earlier. Yay, personal accomplishments!
So why do a 5k the day of thanksgiving?
- I felt great all day, was able to eat a huge thanksgiving dinner without creating a food baby, beat my record time, met The Flash, and learned a valuable lesson about the importance of training and building endurance.
Hurray we did it! Now let's go eat...
