Turkey Trot 2011

Hooray for the Turkey Trot! And hooray for Parker, CO, for organizing a 5k close by in which we were able to participate this year! This is a family Thanksgiving tradition that we didn't want to miss. Because of age requirements (participants had to be at least 8 years old), we decided that Chase, Avery and I would be the runners, and Daddy, Courtney, and Trey would be the cheerleaders. It was a perfectly beautiful day for a run on the Cherry Creek Trail! I am not a runner like I used to be; and although I am still recovering from pregnancy and postpartum sleep deprivation, I have been working out at home for the last 2 months. And the boys have been improving their endurance through their swim class every week. So, we figured we could handle it despite being out of practice. And we did! Especially considering that we had to keep it slow for Chase who was recovering from a cold and became winded easily, we ROCKED the Turkey Trot! So fun! And a great way to start a great Thanksgiving Day.
