We started out our Thanksgiving morning participating in our communities annual Turkey Trot. A few years ago a sister in our ward lost her husband to Type 1 Diabetes. To honor him, some members of the ward organized this 5k walk/run. It is the first year Zac and I have been around to participate. I was really touched as I saw so many familiar ward faces together on what can be a usually hectic and busy morning. So many people from church and our community pulled together for a good cause. It was such a wonderful way to start our day dedicated to gratitude. Zac ran the 5k and made great time. My nephew did awesome and came in twelfth. Noah and I took a leisurely stroll and chatted with my niece. To show you how leisurely, I came in 444. I did win a $25 gift certificate to outback.....score! It was a lot of fun and will be sure to become part of our family tradition.

My goal time was 25 minutes and I finished in 25 minutes and 3 seconds... I thought I did pretty good until someone mentioned that the course was actualy .2 miles short!!! Oh well... 25 minutes 30 seconds is still better than 30 minutes + from my last 5K!!
Way to go...and I love the picture with Noah's shoe missing!
