What’s Next? Buffalo Turkey Trot of course!

Buffalo Turkey Trot

What’s next? Well the Buffalo Turkey Trot has become a tradition in our household.

If you’re in WNY, it’s the most fun run! 14,000 of your closest Thanksgiving Day friends walking and running and dressing up and being silly to start my favorite day of the year.

The challenge always was that it’s an 8K instead of a 5K. It’s funny how your perspective changes when your race distance extends. 🙂 We’ll rock this 8K! After 13.1 miles, just shy of 5 is nothing. OK, it’s not nothing but… Well as long as I can get some running in before then…

Thought training would start this morning… but not quite yet. Gave my foot a week off last week but it’s still sore and so we’ll try for one more of no running. My body needs to work out so tried to resume some light yoga and as much other non-running as I can. No lunges or downward dogs for a couple more days, unfortunately planks are A OK! No, it felt so good.

I will start some upper strength training this week too.

Hopefully next Monday!

Until then… how’s your training going?
