Beautiful morning sharing a 58 degree temp with hundreds of runners. The race here has gotten so large, this is the first year we received running chips which makes it so much easier to track time. I was really hoping to place in my age group (40-49) and was happy with my 3rd place trophy which we used as our centerpiece for our Thanksgiving feast today.

The race was hard for only 3 miles (mostly because I put more pressure on myself than longer runs) with three steep inclines and I forgot to chew gum which makes me really thirsty so I stopped for water which I would normally not do for only a 3-mile run.

Favorite part of the race was that my hubby was waiting for me at the finish line! I usually run this race and then get back home before my family even knows I'm gone! LOL...

We enjoyed the town's parade afterwards and a houseful of family for the weekend!

Great job at the race, congrats on a great time and AG award! That is great that Rob was there to support you!

Glad you had a good Thanksgiving!

Way to go Rachel. Running in Fountain Hills must be interesting because there's not a flat piece of land in the Town.

Have I ever told you how much I like that picture? It's not often you see snow on 4 Peaks.
