Turkey Trot and Thanksgiving


Thanksgiving dinner at Luby's



We had a different kind of Thanksgiving this year. Paul signed up to run the annual San Antonio Roadrunners Turkey Trot this year. He's been wanting to enter a race, since we've moved here and he hasn't had a chance with his schedule. So, Sofia and I woke up early on Thanksgiving morning to cheer him on.

It was a brisk morning and we arrived early for Paul to get his number. Sofia decided she wanted to enter the kiddie races, too. She ran the 60 yd dash and the 1/4 mile run. Paul ran with her and she loved it. He is hoping she gets the running bug when she gets older.

I took pictures and watched everyone prepare. A bunch of people were there with their families. Sofia and I sat on a rock waiting for Paul to cross the finish line. There were 2500 runners and Paul did really well. Too bad they didn't have awards for different age groups. I think he was definitely in the top 3 in 40-45 yr old men.

Afterwards, we went home to chill out and then met everyone for a Thanksgiving meal at Luby's. We ate out last year and really enjoyed not having to cook. So, we decided to do it again. This year, we had my stepdad's son, Chris, and his girlfriend, Elena, join us. We had dessert over at our house and ate plenty of pie. We also played the Wii and hung out. Overall, it was a nice and non-stressful day!
