Turkey Trot 2013

 

One of our family's favorite traditions of the year was on Saturday, our annual Turkey Trot Run. 

 

This was our 5th year and we have been so lucky that it has never rained.  Cold, oh yes! 

 

 

The 1K

 

 

Natalie was our family's representative in the kids 1k.  She got a super cute medal at the end of her race. 

 

The 5K

 

Julia decided this was her year to run the 5k.  I was a little apprehensive about her running this without Mitch or I by her side but she kept telling me, "I am going to be fine, you just follow the crowd!"  

 

Mitch, Cam, and Julia ran the 5k.  Mitch and Julia stayed in the middle of the pack to start and Cameron started in the front.  Of course.....

 

 

His game face.

He told me that he was pretty nervous before the race.

 

Julia got third place in her age division (Girls 7-8) out of 16 others with a time of 30:31.   She couldn't believe that she got a trophy!

 

Cam came in 1st in his age division of 45 other boys (Boys 9-11) with a personal best time of 21:30.  That is a pace of 6:56 a mile!  He got placed 28th overall out of 480 runners.  He was very excited to try out his new Brooks running shoes.

 

 

Mitch placed 1st in his age division (Men 35-39) with a time of 20:40.  Placing 22nd overall out of 480 runners. 

 

Last night for Family Home Evening we enjoyed Mitch and Cameron's gift certificates they got for coming in first at a frozen yogurt u-top it place.  Just in case you think we are a picture perfect family of fitness after the pancake breakfast at the Turkey Trot we stopped at Krispy Kreme for doughnuts on the way home!
