I ran this year's 5K on Thanksgiving. Well, by ran I mean I walked, jogged, trotted, and almost crawled for 3.2 miles. I did it though and I beat mostly all the walkers and all the really fat people. They posted the official times this week. Technically, I came in next to last. But that's just the benchmark. Next year my record will be much better.
It was a great day for a race too. The weather was just right; not too cold or too warm and the sun was bright. I wished I had taken photos. We ran right along the banks of the Cuyahoga River and with the multi-colored foliage and crisp air, the sights were picturesque. I'm not a bird watcher, but I will admit it was mildly interesting to see bluebirds and cardinals and a bunch of other birds around the riverbed. There were lots of families and groups of people running together. I should have expected it, but it caught me off guard. I think it's a great idea as a family tradition to do on Thanksgiving. I would love to do that with my family.
