with the turkeys this AM. ran a 5 miler (turkey trot) to benefit the local high school track team. lots of folks out this morning, even saw a mixed breed dog with a race bib! it was cold but a good racing day. i think i did a lot better than i expected considering i haven't run since the end of sept. my legs held out pretty well. the goal for me today was to finish strong and run the entire way. race results aren't posted yet...
we all got medals, there were bagels, oranges, apples, water, and hot chocolate! NICE. we also received arm warmers with our race bibs. overall a pleasant experience. one of my co-workers also ran, i saw him but couldn't catch up without having to sprint.

will feed the cats again, pill my beautiful orangehead, shower, dress and head to Mom's. i've got great Italian Cookies and bread (if you all are ever in brooklyn, for goodness sake...don't leave without Italian cookies and/or bread).

ciao!
