This Saturday -- Abe's Turkey Trot!

It’s back and destined to be more fun than ever -- the Second Annual Abe’s Turkey Trot, Saturday, November 24!

This is the perfect opportunity to work off those Thanksgiving Day meals, not to mention the stress from fighting Black Friday crowds at the mall. We’ll run everyone’s favorite 10k course and gripe about how the mashed potatoes went right to our hips. OR we’ll try to decide if we’ve done enough hill training to be ready for the Frostbite Festival.

Dress like a turkey if you want to or wear your favorite cold weather running gear if you want to blend into the crowd. We’ll start at the Grandstand on the fairgrounds and run the Abe’s Amble route, which passes by Lincoln’s Tomb, the resting place of the president who first proclaimed a national Thanksgiving holiday.

For the Frost Toes group, this will be our last Saturday group run. The next weekend run for the Toes is the Frostbite Festival!

See you 7 am Saturday at the Abe’s Turkey Trot starting line!

Okay runners we have all been told by any number of people that what we think is normal,like running in any kind of weather,is indeed what the majority of people don't do. I have stumbled across two web sites that might explain why folks in Indiana are called HOOSIERS. Site one is REDEYERELAY.COM. Site two is HOOSIER200.COM/CHILIHILLY.HTML. Actualy both races sound like fun,sorta, Anyone interested in the redeyerelay let me know.

I just received notice that my Chi marathon video will be mailed soon! I was thinking of having a beer and pizza party for all those who participated in this years marathon. I know.........do we really want to re-live the mysery? It would be fun to watch at the Noonans' Basement Bar. Spouses and sig. others are welcome. Let me know if any interest.
