This past Thanksgiving on Thursday was also the annual Turkey Trot at home, a race I’ve never run. It’s not a traditional one in a few senses. First off, the winner of the Turkey Trot isn’t the fastest runner, but instead is the one who is closest to the time they estimate they’ll finish at.

It’s also the least expensive race to enter I know of at $3.

And, due to the nature of the race (the attempt to estimate the finish time), no electronics are allowed. No Garmin, no iPod, no watches, nothing.

That last made it a no go for me. I don’t want to run ten miles without anything to listen to.

But I’m proud of my buddies (@LenaHanson @jlieu and @Melissa808) who ran this thing on Thanksgiving Day! Go girls!
