After leaving the ranch Tuesday we headed south to Phoenix where we stayed in a rental in North Scottsdale and visited family outdoors in backyards and parks maintaining good social distancing and masks as best we could.
Wednesday evening we all visited Zoo Lights, although I didn't get any pictures.
Thanksgiving morning we ran in the annual Anthem Turkey Trot which I map out to be ~3.85 miles. This is our 5th year running. It was my turn to run with Ellie. She really pushed herself and finished in 37.25 and we estimate to be about 12th place. I couldn't keep up and finished a few minutes and a few places behind her. The top 20 received medals and Ellie was really excited! Emily and Darcy finished right around 53 minutes, which was a big improvement compared to last year for Em.
Looking good pre-race!
A post-race soak in the hot tub helps with the sore muscles.
