Bring it on
Thanksgiving morning, I am engaging in one of my favorite acts of lunacy: I'm running the Turkey Trot in Buffalo. This will be, I believe, the 5th year in a row I've run the thing. The Turkey Trot is a fun event. It starts in North Buffalo, and you run five miles down Delaware Avenue into downtown, where the race ends at the convention center. In the convention center is a big party, where you can get all sorts of food and goodies, AND, as much beer as you want. Molson Canadian beer! If you ever needed a motivation to run, I'd think a frosty, FREE cup of beer will be all you need.
Nevertheless, running races is tough enough, but this one always delivers a surprise in the weather, and it's never a good surprise. Thursday's forecast: 80% chance of snow. I'm going to be a frozen block of ice by the time I finish the race. I'd take pictures, but I have no pockets!
