Hello everyone!
This is such a fun time of year– one of my favorites. I love Thanksgiving. My family has a Thanksgiving tradition: Every year, we participate in a road race.
Tomorrow is the annual Turkey Trot in Oceanside, CA. I am so excited! I am going to be running 1 mile. My sister is going to be running also. She is running the 1/4 mile because she is only 6 years old.
This is one of my favorite courses because it is really fast and you get to run right along the ocean.
My plan is to have a really fast start so I can get ahead of most kids, then to pace myself but not go too slow, and then sprint to the finish. I think that my plan will be successful.
Before the race I need to be focused, pumped up, get in a good warm-up, and stretch A LOT. I know I will bring my A-game and do very well.
I am also really excited for tomorrow because it is Thanksgiving! I am so thankful for the wonderful, stupendous, and terrific life I have!
I am going to eat a lot of dark meat (my favorite!) from the turkey and I will have lots of yummy fruits! I just can’t wait for the Turkey Trot and Thanksgiving!
Good-bye for now. See ya later!
