DETROIT TURKEY TROT (Detroit - 2018 - 5K Virtual)

   Detroit Turkey Trot 2018 Photos 27 Mile Drive I worked so hard on my 2018 Detroit Turkey Trot robot for the month of October while my ankle healed.  I was upset I couldn't run with my fracture not 100% healed.  I went down to Cobo and walked around in the robot.  I met with the costume judging panel.  We waited on the second level until the 5K was finished and came back down for the costume results.  I ran a virtual mile and 5K back at home to make up for not running in person.  I wanted to hang the medal on my wall even though it wasn't the same.  I won Best Female Costume for the second year in a row!  This time I got a $50 Bon Bon Bon gift card. We had never been to Bon Bon Bon before. They were so good!  We bought them as Christmas gifts for our family after trying so many flavors from my gift card. The packaging was awesome.  Detroit always gives such nice awards for their costume winners.  I loved that I got the same turkey box that looked identical to 2018's award

BURTON VETERAN'S RUN (Burton - 2018 - 5K)

   Burton Veteran's Day Run 2018 Photos 70 Mile Drive The 2018 Burton Veteran’s Run was very special with so many American Flags lining the start and finish area.  Veteran’s were all over the place.  The buffet of food after the race was amazing.  Corky came with us.  I took him to see if he could walk with me but his limit was a mile and he got carried 80% of the way the remaining two miles.  I had just recovered from my ankle fracture and couldn’t run yet but was determined to finish the series after missing Burton’s Memorial Run.  I got my series medal as I entered the cafeteria.  It was amazing.  It marks a very special accomplishment over a year’s time.  I also got a dog tag with the run logo on it!  I registered for the 2019 Hot Fudge Fun before we left at a convenient computer in the back of the cafeteria.  The Burton Race Series is my favorite Michigan running series.   Burton Page
