19th Race: Turkey Trot 5k November 20, 2010

Location: Remington, Va
Registration: $30
Cause: M.M. Pierce Elementary School
Time: 32 minutes


This was just a fun Thanksgiving race through the little town of Remington.  Judy and I ran this one together and I think I had to walk once but overall I remember it being a pretty good race.  Because this was a Thanksgiving race, I feel it is only fitting to say what I am thankful for and if you didn't guess this past year it all seems to revolve around running.  I am thankful for the new found determination it has instilled in me.  I am thankful for the new friends it has brought me.  I am thankful for the old friendships it has rekindled.  I am thankful for the health it has given to my body.  I am thankful for the peacefulness it has brought to my mind.  I am thankful for the struggles it has forced me to overcome.  I am thankful for the moments it has allowed me to share with my family.  I am thankful for the time it has given me with my mom.  I am thankful for all the laughs, tears, and joy it has brought me.  And I am most thankful for all the memories it has provided me. 

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.  ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy
