Today was the Turkey Trot at my kid's school.  They had each grade going at different times.  I have one daughter in 6th grade, and they started at 8am.  Each kid was supposed to carry an index card with them so that each time they completed a lap, they got a letter added to it.  The goal was for them to spell TURKEY TROT.  But when they started my daughter's class didn't have their cards, so I waited with her until she got hers.  By that time some of the kids had already completed one lap.  I was going to run with her for a lap or two, but she stopped running after about 100 feet.  Yes, feet.  So I kept going.  Some times there would be kids passing me.  There were so many that I couldn't tell if they were legitametly passing me or if they were just sprinting and stopping.  I was able to do 7 laps before they called out to stop.  TURKEY T.  By my GPS it was 1.48 miles.  And I did a partial lap for warm up.  I have another daughter in 4th grade, and she was supposed to go right after the 6th graders, but she stayed home sick.  Emily is in 2nd grade so I came back at 12:30pm to run with her.  We didn't run that much, but we went around twice.  Another sweet little girl stayed with us.  She told me that she always helps with Emily.

Where do you find a turkey with no legs? Exactly where you found it.
