Buffalo 'Turkey Trot' on thanksgiving day

Thankgiving day in Buffalo for runners is all about the Turkey Trot - the Buffalo version of this is oldest run in USA, and did its 115th continuous stint yesterday. Its a shorty, only 8km, but stll, it takes a lot to wake up for the 9am in the freezing cold and wind (and sometimes snow). The idea is you do the run to burn off all the calories your about to load on for thanksgiving dinner that night.

As for me, i went to sleep about 10.30 the night before. Kind of turned over a bit about 8, and slept soundly through the whole frozen escapade. It was oversubscribed anyway, but certainly next year ill give it shot. Hope it was good guys.

The weather here isnt helping my training. It's bitterly cold out right now with the wind biting right through even guys with tights on. I've therefor decided to postpone my running until i get back to Scotland on Sunday.
