First Ever Napa Turkey Chase

To start Thanksgiving Day, I ran a 10K. This allowed me to have many helpings of food later, guilt-free. There was also a 100 meter dash for the little kids, so Isabella ran her first Turkey Chase, too. I think she got a little discouraged when all the more experienced runners blasted passed her at the start line, but we just told her to run to the turkey waiting at the end, and that's what she did.

I guess I was so fast, my family didn't even notice me cross the finish line. (I told Mark to meet me at the finish an hour after the start of the race and I made it in 55 minutes--I guess he took "hour", literally) I found out later I placed 18th out of 56 runners in my age group, which isn't saying much, but it's not nuthin'!
