turkey trot!

We ran in the 4-mile Turkey Trot at the Oregon Zoo this morning. It was a clear and sunny but cold morning - temperatures just at freezing. The race started at 8 am at the Forestry Center, following the road two miles downhill to the Rose Garden and then turning around to come back up two miles, and finishing inside the Zoo. Seb and Steve ran together and finished in 29:10 - 7:17 per mile. Liesl started off super fast but then slowed down on the uphill - we finished in 41 mins, about 9:45 per mile. It was Liesl's longest run ever and she did great.

We came back home for celebratory French toast and hot chocolate w marshmallows, and felt cozy and virtuous.

 

Pre-race and post-race photos!

We decided to go out for Thanksgiving dinner rather than cook the whole feast at home, and had 5:30 reservations at Besaw's. So we spent the afternoon playing games and watching a movie, taking Jasper for a walk in the gorgeous sunshine, playing soccer and basketball. 

 

But I still made an apple pie, because it's not Thanksgiving without leftover pie and cranberry nut bread.
