Knowing that today would be a day of face stuffing and gluttony, my wise little sister decided it would be a good idea to sign up for a little race this morning to help us "earn our turkey." I've never run in any kind of race before so this was kind of big for me. It wasn't anything crazy, just a little two mile course. Still, it was AWESOME to get up and get my heart going! Taber jogged beside me and helped me keep a good pace. All you marathon runners will probably giggle at this but I was proud of myself for finishing in just under 20 minutes. We were in the walk/jog division and Taber took 2nd, Kevin was 3rd, and I came in 5th. Naomi and Sarah also did great placing 7th and 12th respectively. It was the perfect way to start our day and I definitely feel that I earned my Thanksgiving feast this morning!
All ready to go before the race
So the people who ran were me and Taber, my sister Naomi, her hubby Kevin, their daughter Brooklyn, and my little sister Sarah and her baby Noah. Kevin was nice enough to run around taking action shots of us all while he pushed the baby (He actually runs marathons so this was more of a little warm up for him)

Great gimmick!
Sis, Good for yall for getting out there and "earning" all those extra helpings and leftovers!
If we're supposed to "earn" our feeding frenzies, I've been on figurative "food stamps" for the past couple months!
Sloth is a sin, no?
Pae will be running her first race this weekend, a 5.4 kilometer one...wish her luck!
Love you all!
That race sure looks like fun! You do know this is just the beginning right!? That's how I got started!
Happy Thanksgiving!
That is awesome! I wish I would have planned ahead and ran a race, too. I thought about it the morning of, but that was a little too late. Hey 20 minutes is good! And you've got the ribbon to prove it. Great job... you guys are all cute. And I can't believe how big little Noa is, holy smokes! He's gonna be bigger than Sarah soon!
K, you've got me determined to do a little run next year! Looks fun!
