Turkey Trot Galore

My Virtual Turkey Trot was a huge success! I had several participants some casual trotters and some SPEED demons. Thanks to everyone that participated. The not-so-virtual trot was also a success. Quite a crowd gathered on Turkey Day morning in downtown Portland. The whole crowd trotted together for 2.61 miles along the waterfront. Amy, continued on to complete a 5k and Mr. Pi and I continued on for 13.1/10 miles respectively. Since everyone loves pictures, here are a few:
