Gloria and Dora arrived on Wednesday night, so they could join us in our local Run Turkey Run on Thanksgiving morning.   We were ready by 8am and got out in the cold to walk to the starting place.  We cheered Dora off for her 10K race first, then we were next in line for the 5K.  Logan was telling us and Gloria to all stay and run together, but as soon as the crowd started moving, he took off running and Gloria ran after him.  Stuart, Connor and I began our speed walking together; sometimes we were even holding hands together to walk.  We saw Dora in her returning loop; she was running her full speed.  Stuart decided to start running in hope to catch up with Logan and Gloria which he did in the last mile of the run.  Connor and I were in good walking speed for the entire race; Connor never really complained of being too tired, so I did not have to find ways to distract him like the previous two years.  During the last 1/2 mile, Connor wondered if Dora would find us as she had last year; lo and behold there was Dora walking back from finish line.  She mentioned that she had seen Stuart, Logan and Gloria finishing the race together and waiting for us at the end.  Dora convinced Connor to race with her, so the two of them dashed toward the finish line and Connor was pleased that he beat auntie Dora.  We saw Stuart, Logan and Gloria waiting and cheering for us to finish, and Logan was happy to come tell us that he finished the race 20 minutes before we did.  We reviewed our times.  Dora beat her last year’s time and finished 2nd for her female age group.  The rest of us did similar to our last year’s times.  We all then walked home afterward, and the boys did not complain about being tired all the way.
