Two of my girls ran the 5k Turkey Trot in Frisco this morning, along with 8,000 or so of our best friends. The temperature was a nice balmy 42 degrees and with the breeze felt like 35. The sun came out about a mile into the run and that helped a bit, but the walk back to the car afterward felt quite chilly. A few observations about people and their behavior in a "race" like this: if you're walking, go to the back of the pack. There's no reason for you to clog up the course by waking five abreast across the road. There's a 1-mile run/walk that starts before the 5k/10k people, and they should start them after the runners. And if you decide to walk, go to the sides. People are oblidiots. In spite of the usual stupidity, the girls and I had a good time. I still think it's funny to give out finisher medals for a 5k, but then again, I didn't turn it down. Happy Thanksgiving y'all.
