Turkey trotting!

This weekend marked another holiday-themed 5K (last month was the Monster Dash) for my public health friends and me -- the Turkey Run!

As could be expected, late November mornings in Minnesota are a little chilly, but we were fine within a couple of minutes. I hope we're that lucky for the Reindeer Run in two weeks and the Polar Dash 10K on New Year's Day!

I've always run in some capacity -- woo! Go Prowlers! (high school track team) -- but I've been doing a lot of it lately. And I find that two things make it more fun and, in turn, make me more motivated: friends and events. It's one thing to go out and pound the pavement alone because it's good for you; it's totally another to head to a fun costume 5K with friends -- and it keeps me running in between.

Now if the snow/below-zero temps could just hold off...
