Day 5 - Running on Turkey Day

The Turkey Trot was a lot of fun today. There were a lot of people there...many, no doubt to catch a glimpse of Sarah Palin. I ran into a few people I recognized as frequent customers at my work. It was good to see so many people out on a chilly November morning.

I did see Ms. Palin for a moment as she entered the crowd to run. A lot of cameras, press and people gathered around her. I hope she had fun and enjoyed the outdoors. It was a nice morning and the river was still and quiet. Would have made for a great day kayaking...I did notice a lone paddler.

The run gave me a great 27 minute cardio workout. 5k still makes for a challenge. I'm looking forward to the Cable Bridge Run in December.

Insanity - Day 4

Cardio Recover today. This isn't as intense as the other workouts, but it packs a punch. Squat pulses and some challenging moves make it a great workout. It's also nice to have a break from the power moves and cardio. Don't get me wrong, though, this is a tough workout.

Tomorrow I will be running a 5k Turkey Trot at Columbia Park here in Kennewick, WA instead of the Pure Cardio workout.

Incidentally Sarah Palin, former running mate and VP candidate with John McCain, will be running in the Turkey Trot as well. I'm sure a lot of people will be there and it could be a challenge. I'll let you know tomorrow.
