Thanksgiving Memory 10km Run

I have so much to be thankful for and that is something I hope to never forget! Today I ran the Thanksgiving Memory 10km Run in support of the Alzheimer's Society. It's been a few years since I did this one and I was amazed at how it has grown. What a great sight to see so many runners at the start line considering the cold and snowy weather. I had no expectations for myself, I just wanted to run, feel happy and feel healthy at the end. It took about 7 km to realize that I had not been running much lately. My muscles let me know that but just a tab so.
I stuck to a 10&1s plan for the entire race. It went smooth and it went quicker than I thought it would. I crossed the finish line in 1:02:34, so my 305 says. I was elated! I devoured the individual pepperoni pizza and cinnamon roll, checked out the winners and then left to carry on with my day.
On the way home I picked up a bottle of red wine for my Thanksgiving turkey dinner tonight and some fresh red pears for tomorrow's fondue on top of Mt Burke or Grass Pass.
Thank you for today!
