Turkey trot
I saw Gipper's Girl's ticker and it got me thinking who else is running the Turkey Trot on Thursday? I am running the Dallas one for the first time this year. I signed up for the 8mi but am now nursing a foot injury so I'm just gonna do the 5k. Who else is gonna be there?
Re: Turkey trot
I'll be there huffing and puffing! DH and I have been training with the Couch to 5k program. We finished Week 6 this morning, so we won't be all the way though in time for the TT but I feel good with my progress and I'm going to try my hardest to run the entire race. I'm sure I'll be pathetically slow, but that's ok
I want to do another 5k in December once we finish C25K.
Good luck, girls!
C25k is how I started too. I finished it a couple of years ago and decided to keep on going so I joined a running club http://www.dallassportsuniversity.com/ and even did a 20k in September. I signed up for the White Rock 1/2 marathon in December but I think I am gonna have to scratch that now too. I have a dislocated bone in my right foot now so I am trying to get that back to 100%. I was a complete non runner before so if I can do it, anyone can!!!! Good luck and keep it up!!!!
The last time I did it, it was a few years ago and I got mixed up on the start time. We got there with plenty of time for an 8 am start time... but it didn't start til 9! oops. Since we were so early, it was a breeze getting there and parking. We parked underground (under city hall?) but then it was a PITA to get out of the garage to leave. Now sure what I'll do this year.
Good luck, girls!
Momo - That is impressive! Maybe there is hope for me yet, lol. I have never particularly enjoyed running, but seeing how much I've progressed in 6 weeks is keeping me going (and that I don't want to embarrass myself too badly at the TT!). Honestly, the hardest part is forcing myself to get out of my warm, cozy bed at 5:30 a.m., but I'm always in a great mood after I finish the run
I hope your foot gets better. That must be so frustrating for you 
Maui - Do you remember if the course has many hills?

I don't think so, but it's been awhile.
I just found this map of the course. Over on the right, where it says "info & tools" click the box "show elevation":

The Dart schedule says to get off at the Convention Center stop. It can't be as crowded as TX-ou so we may try it.
Schweet. Thanks!
I will be there on Thursday as well. But, I'm kinda sad to be going at it alone on Thanksgiving Day. My kids will be there to cheer me on so I guess that's all that matters.
Good Luck Everyone!!
