Turkey Trot?

I've been running for a few weeks now, finally feeling better after a really bad flare of my ulcerative colitis that had me not running or doing anything active for a couple months. I'm so glad to be healthy now, it feels really good to be running again. I ran four miles today, and it was pretty easy...I was surprised to get back to my cruising speed so quickly, doing roughly a ten minute mile on what felt like a leisurely run.

While I'm planning on doing a half marathon next year, hopefully in February, I was looking forward to something a little closer...the Turkey Trot with my brothers this Thursday. But I just found out that's not going to happen, unless I run it by myself. I was really excited about doing a Turkey Trot again this year; I ran one last year with my little brother Matt, and I had so much fun that I was hoping we could keep the tradition going. Last year Matt ran the 5K and I did the 10K, since his area of expertise is speed and mine is endurance. This year, it's a different race in a different location, and it's just a 10K, so I was hoping to beat both of my brothers by using my (I hoped) superior endurance. But my big brother isn't going to be in Gainesville for Thanksgiving, and my little brother hurt his knee...So I guess it's just going to be me, all by my lonesome. I hope next year turns out a little better...
