The Great Day of the Turkey 2014

The Great Day of the Turkey 2014

If you have been following us for a while you know that the Capital One Bank Dallas YMCA Turkey Trot is our Turkey Day Tradition! This year was no different! We left the boys at home and headed out to fit in this 8 mile race before the craziness that is Thanksgiving day started. We love this race, the atmosphere, and the fact that it keeps getting better!

This year we got to run this race with our girl Catherine…Chase bailed on us šŸ˜‰ womp womp!

We rode down together! We were a little sad after DRC Half that we rode separate, and left separate so we sucked it up and went together. Two breast pumping people in one car is a little entertaining. We dare someone to pull us over when that is happening. You do what you gotta do right?

We got to the race right in time, SHOCKINGā€¦ we know! We wanted to run this as together as possible which sometimes is difficult in this crazy race but we did, minus a few random spots. We all were able to meet back up from separation and finish together! Also we would like to add that they changed the course yet again, but I still think we are a fan of the original. We want to run over the bridge.

We crossed the line together and were super surprised that this year they included a MEDAL!! Not that we run for medals, or are ā€œmedal junkiesā€ but we thought it was a fun addition to an already awesome race.

We usually enjoy Mimosas at Bethā€™s sister house after the race but this year we had to nix that due to time, but we kept the tradition alive just in separate houses. Who doesnā€™t love a mimosa, or two, or three?

And what would a Thanksgiving post be without now saying that we then spent the rest of the day with our families and had fun enjoying Miles and Laneā€™s first Thanksgiving!
