Staying Fit On Thanksgiving Day

The Georgetown Running Club and Sertoma Club, both in Georgetown, held their 2nd Annual Turkey Trot early this morning, starting this year on the Georgetown square.  In only its second year, the race is really a big hit, with approximately 800 participants taking part in runs and walks, including a kids fun run as well as 1-mile and 5-mile events.   I seem destined to cover running events on Thanksgiving day.  During my years working at the Atlanta Journal & Constitution, I was always there to cover the Atlanta Marathon and Half-Marathon.    Getting up early doesn’t seem to be a problem for something that’s so much fun for participants and spectators alike.   One little athlete  I particularly loved was a chihuahua named Enrique, who ran 5 miles on his tough little legs!  Here are a few photos I shot for my friends at the Williamson County Sun.
