The Stokes' started a new tr adition this year, doing a turkey trot race the morning of Thanksgiving. Chris and Jackson did the 2 mile and I did the 5 mile race. Jackson is recovering from bronchitis so they took it easy, I'm recovering from a busted tailbone and I.....did not. Surprised? I didn't think so. Since it hurts horribly when I sit I figured this was a good alternative. I ended up running the race WAY to fast in the beginning and then 'bonked' at the end. I clocked about 45 sec faster per mile than what I usually run. Jackson did excellent and LOVED the excitement of the event, Chris did too.
We rewarded ourselves with excellent company and marvelous food at my parent's house. We had Thanksgiving with them and our family friend Pat. The food was delicious and the Packer vs. Lions game was the dessert : ) GO PACK!

My Dad enjoys some pie with his Cool-Whip. This is a Thanksgiving tradition...or a tradition anytime he has pie.
