Turkey Trots; Gobblers & Other Turkey Day Races

My hubby and I are doing the Chase the Turkey 5k race at 8 a.m. Thursday. It's been 6 years since I've done a 5k, so I would love to PR, but realistically probably not gonna happen.  I'm not wearing a watch or a Garmin.  My only expectation from this race is to have fun and get a really nice tech shirt.

The Outback Distance Classic half marathon in Jacksonville, Florida. A big turnout is expected, 5,000 runners.

Running the Fairmount Park Turkey Trot 5 Mile in Philly with my Sister and her family.

The Feaster Five in Andover, MA.  10,000 people doing 5K or 5 mi.  I'm in for the 5K 

Turkey Trots here in Bloomington IN, 07:00!! rain, sun or ....SNOW!!! - in our forecast It will actually be my first 5k so whatever I do it will by my PR! Gotta love that - no pressure.

I haven't registered yet, but I did it last year.  My first race of any type after I decided to do tris.

It was cold last year, but I took the bike out of the truck and went for a short ride afterwards.  Couldn't have been too bad. This year the forecast  calls for 19º-37º for the day. Ouch, 20º or so is likely at 9am for race time.

With me STILL not running much and it being so cold it will really take tapping into the HTFU/That Guy vibe to toe that line...of course I still have an annoying cough from a cold last week. Sigh.

And I was looking to ride my bike to the race as a warm-up. That is not particularly appealing to me below freezing.

I'll probably show up. I like the shirt they gave out last year and could use another one!

TXU Turkey Trot in Houston on Thanksgiving morning. I'm doing the 10K, my husband is doing the 5K with my 9 yr old daughter (her first).

Aquathon 500yd  swim and 5k turkey trot for the local Y
Official last race of the season

The Cohasset Thanks-for-giving 5k at 7:30 Thursday morning. My first time running this, and my second 5k race this week! Plan to run hard the whole way so to give myself a free pass on guilt from the eating frenzy which is sure to follow later in the day.

I am organizing a 5K Turkey Trot in Abu Dhabi on the YAS Marina F1 Circuit!!

Just your average American Thanksgiving run

Now THAT sounds like a sweet location for a run.

Work and dinner on turkey day, ran the LSSU Turkey Trot last weekend. They hold it early because the college kids all go home for the holiday.

We'll have to compare notes on how our respective 9 year olds fare!  My daughter did the same event last year but ran/walked with my wife and her younger sister.  This year she's determined to run the whole thing - we'll see! 

One way or the other, i?t's gratifying to see them taki?n?g? ?a?n? ?i?n?t?e?r?e?s?t????!

I'm doing a 5 mile Turkey Trot on Thursday.  Saturday I'm doing the Pigskin Classic 5k - Ohio State v. Michigan (kegs & eggs following the race ). 

Home Run for the Homeless 4 miler on Thursday morning. I think its the 5th time for me, 3rd year in a row.

Galloping Gobbler 4 miler in Fort Wayne, IN.    My second attempt at this distance and hoping for another PR! :^)

I'm doing the Breakaway Farms 5k... OK, really that means I'm running around the block (3 miles) from my farm.  The entry fee is cheap and the field is small.     I did an organized Turkey Trot this past Saturday. 

T-Day tradition with my wife... Alexandria (VA) 5 mile turkey trot, followed by a nice dinner out.

5 Mile Turkey Trot Thursday monring - hoping for a big PR - I do have a super secret goal time in mind...we'll see how it works.

Thursday morning 5k Turkey Trot with my wife and 11-year-old.  We are racing with another family (kids vs adults).  Should be interesting.

Greensboro Gobbler.

I'm probably doing the Hobble Then Gobble 5 mile run Thursday morning. Haven't signed up but pretty sure I'm going to. Haven't run at all since my half marathon November 14th, need to get back at it or I'll be struggling out there.

And just to get this out of my head:

"Turkey Trots?   You probably should have cooked it another hour!"

that's funny!

5k st. pete times turkey trot in clearwater.
