Happy Thanksgiving Part 1 - 10K RACE

We were lucky enough to have family come and visit us for Thanksgiving this year! My parents, Lucy, and Josh's Brother, wife and kids all came to visit this past weekend. Everyone stayed with us so we had a full house :)

I have wanted to run in an organized race for a while and found one Thanksgiving morning so convinced Josh and Zach to run with me. I don't run very much so a 10k was going to be a challenge. I wanted to make sure I could make it so the weekend before Thanksgiving ran 6 miles on a treadmill. Bad idea - I was sore and did something to my foot so didn't think I could even run in the race. I felt so bad that I roped Josh and Zach into leaving the house at 6:30am so volunteered to at least drive them. It was 37 degrees when we left the house, of course record lows. By the time I got there I thought screw it, I at least have to give it a try! Well, we all finished, including me, in less than 58 minutes (Josh and Zach around 56 mins and me around 57). It was such an awesome way to start the day, with a challenge that helped feed others that day. I hobbled around the rest of the weekend because my foot hurt so bad but it was worth it!
