This year we decided to give the Turkey Trot a go again. It meant waking up early on a Saturday morning, which is never popular in our family. BUT....the girls were very happy when we arrived and they saw their best friends, Pearl and Mackie, there too. We all ran with a buddy who matched our speed and desirable outcome for the day. Originally, the plan was just to get out and enjoy a Saturday morning moving together whether we ran, walked, or did both wasn't important. Pearl partnered up with Russell, Sophia, and me. It was evident that she was there to give it her best shot to win the Under 30 Girls 5K, so I told her I would stick with her so no one had to run alone. Incredibly, she and I both took 2nd place in our heats. Not so incredible for Pearl, but definitely unexpected for me....completely unexpected! Sophia and Russell did an amazing job as well. We were so proud of Sophia to keep up the momentum and give it her best...she moved the entire time and didn't stop for a break once. This was a huge accomplishment for Sophia! Overall, a very successful and fun morning....in the end, worth getting up early!
