My latest crazy scheme is to compete in a Thanksgiving 5k.  Is it even possible??  I mean, Thanksgiving is less than 6 weeks away and I am not in any kind of good shape.  I caught this wild idea in Fairhope, AL, walking around looking at all of the cute shops.  Window shopping of course, as EVERYTHING in Fairhope is closed on Sundays!  I cam across a poster for their Turkey Trot and I thought, "Why not?".  So on Monday I googled 5k training in 6 weeks and there is actually a training program someone already created.  I just have to follow along!  It is not for the faint of heart, though. After adding all of the mileage and minutes, I saw that each training session is 1-1 1/2 hours long.  What???  Oh well, I'm giving it a shot anyway :).  Yesterday I completed day 3, woohoo!!!

I'll put the link down below so any of the rest of you crazy people can join me if you like!
