I ran a 5K on Thanksgiving!!!

My goal for 2010 was to run a 5K and I did the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving. I ran slow, but I finished and that is what was important. Cheri and Anna came to cheer me on in the freezing cold. I started in the front with the die-hard runners. I wanted to get the feel of their adrenaline. Most of them have little rituals they do before the race starts. Of course they all passed me up pretty quickly but it was fun while it lasted. Crossing that finish line felt great. Now I understand how people get hooked on races. I'm going to get my number laminated and frame it with my picture; then I'm going to compare it to how I look when I finish my 1/2 marathon in April!!!
