This turtle will be on blogging hiatus for a few days,  

with the customary Turkey Trot Thursday morning,

The Thanksgiving tradition began in 2008 [here]
when I took the leap into running.

In 2009, we enjoyed a much more leisurely,
social event [here] with friends (old and new),
neighbors, and lots of hugs.

This year we'll be in a different city, visiting family, 
but race day brings a local buddy, Kitzzy (nice surprise!).  
:)


Wednesday Winners will return next week. 

Happy running, friends!

Happy Thanksgiving to you! I am so doing the virtual trot. I wanted to organize one in my 'hood, but the neighbors didn't seem all that interested. The virtual one will be great because it's for a great cause!
