A little cold this morning, but a beautiful day for a run. Sunny and no wind, and temps to keep you cool during the race. This was a charity race put on to raise funds for Hurricane Sandy victims, and the emphasis on the race was having fun. There were no AG awards, which was ok with me. Besides, I really don't like 5K's. I never train for them, and they hurt. At least, they hurt me if I try and run them really fast. But, they're good for you (so I keep telling myself). They had drawings at the end, but I managed to keep my streak alive of never winning anything at a race drawing. Bottom line--I had fun, and it was a great way to start Thanksgiving day. Now I can carbo-load the rest of the day.

N8r! How long have you been kickin' around here?

Nice Turkey Day 5K!

Hurricane. I thought you meant Hurricane Utah. I'm in Cedar City right now with at my sister's house. Great job!

Maynard--just got on here this month. Appears it may be just in time, as I understand the FF is going away.

Burt--When I first heard, I thought Hurricane UT as well.

Wow, great job! Sounds like a fun race.

Thanks, Dale. It was pretty fun. Well, as much fun as I can have running a 5K.
