This Thanksgiving Dave and I decided it would be fun to start the day off with a 4 mile race, The Flying Feather at the Corazon Club. We figured we might as well burn off some calories before consuming thousands more. I was secretly hoping it would rain so that I could have an excuse to stay home but it didn't start until we got to the starting line. Gina, my fellow bootcamper, and I were ready to go. Luckily we didn't get trampled out of the gate by the other 2400 runners. Dave was obviously gone by the time we even got to the first turn. The first mile was by far the worst. It was mostly uphill, the rain was coming down, and my face was so cold that I couldn't move my mouth. I thought to myself, "Why did I sign up for this?" After the first two miles we headed into the woods and it warmed up a lot. The third mile was by far the easiest. At the finish I spotted the photographer and shot him a quick smile so that I would look great in my race picture (always got to be conscience of the camera)! I finished the race in 36 minutes according to my clock. Now that it's over, I think I would probably do it again. Fun times!

Is that Dave in the bird outfit? What do you guys plan to do over Christmas when we consume hundred of thousands of calories in the form of peanut butter balls, cookies, and all the other junk that tastes so good, you better run a 10 mile race daily!!!

I was trying to talk Roanna into running a race over Christmas but she wasn't having it. Maybe we will have our own bootcamp each morning to burn off all the calories!
