Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links… It had been three years since I’d run in our local turkey trot.

I have a tradition of running several miles in the early hours of Thanksgiving morning before running in the Ashburn Farm Thanksgiving Day 5K; however, this year Mother Nature had other plans. It snowed most of the day on Wednesday, and even though the main roads were fine, the side roads and trails were still […]
Yesterday’s race was the first time ever that I had a DNF (did not finish)… It was for a very good reason though, and if you stay with me for a few minutes, you’ll see why! Last week Bill and I signed up for the 20th Annual Ashburn Farm 10K, a race that we’ve run […]
Since today is packet pick-up for the Ashburn Farm Thanksgiving Day 2K/5K/10K, I thought I’d write a recap of the previous years that Bill and I have run in this local Thanksgiving morning turkey trot.
