Organizing this turkey trot is not much work...it started with a discussion between my friend and myself.....he got the word out (via Facebook, etc.) and I wrote up the press release (and also helped spread the word). We don't have any formal start/finish lines, and the route is completely open. No registration fees...it's all in good fun. The food donations are a huge bonus for the community ;-) Kim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-21225867489085938412016-11-26T09:37:55.285-06:002016-11-26T09:37:55.285-06:00The detour was a given for me LOL....I knew there ...The detour was a given for me LOL....I knew there would be no PR happening (even before the race started), and I didn't want that unique opportunity to pass.

In years past, I have given in to the hoopla and started at midnight (of Thanksgiving), but the past couple years we have waited until the morning of Black Friday...and still found good deals with less of the crowds.

I have never been someone who can do a run streak- I definitely need days off from running otherwise I get injured! I will need to check out your race recap. I didnt do the detour last year but part of me wishes I did! But I was going for a PR so those extra few minutes would have added up.

I did a 6K race in the morning, then came home and cooked. I have so many favorites: stuffed mushrooms, spinach patties, homemade cranberry sauce and stuffing... and pie. I love pie. It's all so great. <br /><br />We go out later on Black Friday - we see Santa, have lunch and do a little shopping.
