Turkey Trot 5K Recap!

This morning Zach and I ran the Turkey Trot 5k at MSU. I think it's funny they called it a Turkey Trot before Halloween, but due to MSU's home football game schedule this November, I guess this was the only weekend.
The morning was CHILLY! We started running at 8 am. The course was really nice and went around the campus. I love seeing the changing leaves in Starkville! I ran at an easy, comfortable pace since we are running our (FIRST) half marathon next weekend (YAY)! I was enjoying myself the whole time by listening to College Sports Radio and looking at the pumpkins that were left around campus! I finished strong and passed a couple people before the finish!
I wished I had gloves!

Zach's FIRST RACE EVER! So proud!

We are having a Halloween-themed football viewing party today to watch the Florida-Georgia game, Mississippi State-Kentucky game. We will also be switching back and forth to catch some of Tennessee-South Carolina and Clemson-Georgia Tech.

Go GATORS! Beat those Dawgs!
Go MISSISSIPPI STATE! Beat Kentucky!
Go TENNESSEE! Beat SC!
Go CLEMSON! Beat GT!

Have a great Saturday!

  1. Ha that is weird that it was called the Turkey Trot...wonder why they couldn't think of a halloween theme for the 5k! My hometown has a 5k on Thanksgiving morning called the Drumstick Dash and for some reason I ALWAYS mess up and call it the turkey trot haha

  2. That is really weird that they didn't just call it a Halloween run. But it sounds like it was fun. Good luck on your race next weekend!
