A year ago, I walked the Turkey Trot and was thankful that I had a ticket for the Ham Breakfast afterward. This year, I ran the Turkey Trot and was thankful that I was able to share the experience with family and friends.
As part of my Healthy U journey this year, I have participated in four 5K events and the Firecracker Mile on July 4. Before being selected for the inaugural Healthy U class in January, the last time I ran longer than 25 yards or so was in the early 1990s, when I would join co-workers a couple of times a week for full-court lunch-hour basketball games (boy, do I miss those). So covering a 3.12-mile course without using a vehicle has been a pretty big accomplishment.
