The turkey trot. On Thanksgiving day it is tradition that Spokane Washington comes out for a food drive and 4 mile run the morning of Thanksgiving. Joseph, Eric, and I drove up together and Jason and his friend JT drove up after us. We started the race with the thought that Jason and JT would catch up with us since they are cross country runners and can run a mile under 5 minutes. Well as we were finishing we saw Jason and JT flying up the street hoping over bolders and skipping around people as they flew by everyone. They caught up to us and just kept running to finish their second lap. They had already looped us once without us knowing it and then they lapped us again for the finish. They are sure fast. It was a blast to get a good run in before eating all the fixins of Thanksgiving and more fun to do it with family. At the beginning of the race Joseph looked over and saw a man that looked just like his dad. He had to go over and make sure it wasn't his dad. Joseph introduced himself with a huge grin saying you look just like my dad. I had to take a picture because Joseph was so cute and excited. Joseph felt a little closer to Kansas on Thanksgiving as this man turned around and put his arm around him for the picture.
