Cooking the bird, attending the Manchester Road Race, then, heading to the afternoon destination. This year, my youngest Daughter, hosted our family holiday. We had a warm and sunny, Thanksgiving Day this year. It was great for the runners of the Turkey Race, in Manchester, Ct. They had 15,000 participants! Wow! I have walked it, several times in the past years. My children and friends(who ran) would wait for me at the finish line on Main St, in front of St James Church. Still remember that hill by Highland Park Market. Now, I am happy to join my friends and be a spectator. The race route is lined with us fans! Five miles of fans, bands, boom boxes, parties and more, all along the route. Some of the runners/walkers, dress in costumes, paint their bodies, carry flags, push strollers and walk with their dogs. Safety Man is my all time favorite!
The community support is amazing! Many generations of runners join together to share this race. Here are a few photos of the day!
Sharing the good life,
Frances

France I am with you. Sitting on the side lines and watch other people run and sweat :) :) :)
George, LOL! Good memories of days past, make me stand there and smile at all of the people who are making those same special memories.
Francis - Looks like a fun race to do ... no wonder you used to do it! Keep you eye open for the next CT meetup!
Hi Francis you must have taken a little time off too uh. I love running not as a sport but to unwind and think. Enjoyed you post on the bird BTW. Sounds and looks like you had a great time.
Dagny, Thank you, I will definitely try to make your next meeting:) George S. will keep me updated!
Charles, Yes, this is the time of year that I work more on family and friends:)
