Turkey trotDon’t get left behind this Thanksgiving Day on Thunder Clouds 2012 Turkey Trot in Austin! Oh I know you have lots going on that day..but get organized, delegate duties, get your jobs out of the way and be there!

The fun starts at 8:45 am at the Long Center (701W. Riverside Drive, Austin, TX 78704). Here is the link to the race information:http://thundercloud.com/index.php/race-info

All of the race proceeds benefit Caritas of Austin. Last year’s Turkey Trot raised over $260,000 big ones!! Over the last 21 years the raced has raised over 1.5 million for Caritas! Last year’s Turkey Trot was the most successful ever with approximately 19,500 participants!!!!!

This is a 5 mile timed and untimed run plus a 1 mile (Not a 5K). You can walk but course closes after 2 hours must walk at least a 24 minute mile!

Our son and wife have always participated and this year their son Hudson born in September will be with them. I decided it might be a good time for Nana to join the fun..wonder if other members of the family will join us!! The invite is out!  http://thundercloud.com/index.php/trot-home

Everyone join in the fun on Thanksgiving day and help reach the goal of 20,000 runners and to continue their record as the largest 5 mile race in Texas!

Great cause. We will do our annual gift of 36 turkeys to a number of different loan drives. Since we are more fortunate than others, it is our responsibility.
