Let the trotting commence

Love this picture. Reminds me of Sardine Canyon.

I've decided I want to run a 10k in November on Thanksgiving, the Redding Turkey Trot, more specifically. It's a pretty classic Redding event - right up their with the Freedom Festival, Cool April Nights, and the Asphalt Cowboy Breakfast. I mean, it's a total Redding thing to do.

But, I'm doing it.

I got my training schedule all mapped out and while it's only 6 miles, I feel like I need this schedule to help me along. I haven't done much running since I left USU. My right hip starts to hurt after 3 miles, so I stopped running and started playing tennis and spinning. Me and running just couldn't get along anymore.

But latey, I really feel like running, Maybe it has something to do with the cooler fall weather, but I've been itching to start again. I figured I will get myself some new, very quality running shoes and just deal with any pain. I mean, I can pull it together and get through 6 miles, right?

If you're lucky enough to be in Redding over the holiday, you should do it, too. It will be funny fun.

We'll totally play tennis! I need to get my racquet restrung, but I'll for sure bring it. I'm so excited!

I'll be nearly 6 months pregnant at Thanksgiving (WHAT). I'm planning my own "trot", to consist of several slow laps around the kitchen island throughout the day, eating all the food I can see.

But I WILL be in Redding for the first time in 10 months.

Haha, Kool April Nites. That made me laugh.

Turkey Trot = AWESOME I unashamedly love my hometown.

I've never done the trot, but I know there are at least a few people who take it very seriously and really work for 1st.
