what you should be doing thanksgiving day

Posts have been few and far between of late … I’ve been training for the Thanksgiving Day Race, an event I haven’t participated in since 1995.
I’m still in the 19-24-year-old bracket, meaning I’ll be competing against fresh-faced, just-out-of-high-school cross-country freaks. Kids who haven’t had six years of solid drinking and partying under their 30-inch belts. Let the record show that I’m putting in my hard work, however. See the counter on the homepage to see how much training time remains.
If you’re not doing anything, come out and run with me in a few weeks. What you need to know:
-
- Cincinnati. Downtown. Start somewhere near the stadiums.
- Thanksgiving Day. 9 a.m. EST.
- 10 kilometers (a cute, European way of saying 6.2 miles).
- A 40-minute finish time (optional).
So far, participants include
-
- John Ryan.
- Heideh.
- Philip (he’s walking the course with his family, but hey).
- Brent (unconfirmed - hearsay only).
See you on the 24th.

You know I’ll be there from start to finish. Um, on the sidelines of course. Not ready this year.

If I had plans to actually go back to the Nati any time soon, I’d run it with you. But as it is, I’ll be in Indiana. Most likely drinking. As that’s what my family does on all major holidays.
