Two days ago I decided that I didn’t want a typical Fat Girl Thanksgiving. Usually, I’m in my jammies, cursing at family because they’re getting in my way in the kitchen. Then of course I’m stuffing myself full of food I don’t even particularly enjoy (stuffing is blah but I seem to eat a metric ton of it anyway cause well, its Turkey Day and you can’t have turkey without stuffing). Followed by three slices of pie or cake and chocolate.
This year would be different because I’m different. This year I ran the Massapequa 1st Annual Turkey Trot 5K. I had a few goals 1) don’t finish last 2) pass at least 1 person 3) run the whole thing 4) have fun.
Mission accomplished.
Massapequa Turkey Trot 2010 - Ready to run
Nice Hats
I tried to catch up to the girl in the pink shirt all race, got her with .5K to go!
Now, its time for turkey
I am so proud of you, cuz!!!!!
And I’m sure our cousin Daniel did a turkey trot this morning in like 12 mins. LOL
and I broke the tradition and actually got dressed on a holiday! thank you for giving me an incentive to gte moving
Considering there’s muppets in the parade on TV, I’m sure they’re glad to know that you jammies, that look like you skinned a muppet, are no where in sight.

I dragged my family out to a turkey trot but they all walked… glad they came out though!
