Come on, you know you want to. :)

The Long Beach Turkey Trot 10/5k is quickly approaching on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 27, 2008 at the Belmont Pool in Belmont Shore, just two blocks east of the Belmont Pier.

More details: http://www.turkeytrot.us/

4,000 runners AND walkers of ALL LEVELS OF ABILTY are expected. You can even bring your kids for the 1/4 mile Wing Ding. This is a really fun way to challenge yourself and start the day in a healthy way that is usually reserved for gorging yourself on turkey.

Random finishers will receive an infamous HOLIDAY PIE that we like to joke about so much....I doubt they're sugar-free. Consider yourself warned!

5k/10k begins at 7:30am

10k begins at 8:30am

5k begins at 9:30

I'm still not sure which event I'll enter, if I decide to keep a newbie company I'll do the 5k.

So who's ready for some pie?!?!?!?!?!?

Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."

Oh, I thought about it!!!!

I could do (2) 5ks and double my chances of scoring a pie...there's only 350 pies given out though.

I'm on angel duty Saturday morning, but yes...I've heard that running on sand is a killer workout. I want to try it.
They also have beach bootcamp I''d like to try.
