Fitness Goal: 5k

I’m down in my hometown (Port Charlotte, FL) this weekend. Monday and Tuesday I have a work conference in St. Petersburg so I figured I’d include a visit to my dad in the trip since it’s only an additional hour to Port Charlotte from St. Pete and I rarely make the 6 hour drive to see them (they are guaranteed Thanksgiving and Christmas, that’s it!).

After puttering around my dad’s farm for a bit I started complaining to him about my ½ mile run the other day. He laughed and said he ran 2 miles this morning. Surprised my dad was running again (he was having knee issues) I immediately suggested “we should run the Turkey Trot this year”. I’ve wanted to complete another race with my dad for a while now but there was always an excuse not to (like, hatred of running or his knee issues).

So yeah… Turkey Trot 5k in 3 months.
