2015 EN Turkey Trot
2015 Turkey Trot Challenge
Welcome to the 2015 Endurance Nation Turkey Trot Challenge! This is a new event, but like all of our challenges the goal is to have fun, stay fit, and keep one another motivated. You need to officially register for the challenge by midnight on Wednesday November 26th.
How It Works
Participating members will register online, identify the distance of the race that they have chosen, and enter an estimate finishing time. While everyone's a winner in this challenge, only one of you can do the closest to your predicted finishing time! That’s Right – You submit your predicted finishing time before the race happens. S/he who comes the closest, wins!
If you don’t have a road race or similar event available in your account, it’s okay to run on your old. The only requirement is that you covered the distance in the time predicted.
Please Note: Your finish must be recorded on a GPS device with a link presented as verification after the event if requested!
Step One: Register online HERE
Step Two: Visit this forum before and talk great amounts of smack. Pinky promise not to sandbag your performance by picking an easy time that you can hold the pace of. Here's a calculator that can help you out.
Step Three: Run your race with your GPS watch, making sure to flash the Endurance Nation gang sign at the finish line. Primal scream optional.
Step Four: Return to the registration sheet and enter your official finish time in the space provided next to your name. A winner will be selected by Monday, November 30th.

You're doing better than me. This week I restarted "running" after injury & surgery. Today was the second day: 1 minute walk, 2 min run @ min/mi, 3 min walk, repeat x total of 5.
Haven;t you been busy building a boat, or something?
The Manchester Road Race is the big turkey day race around here. Last year I was honored to push a girl, Amanda, with Cerebral Palsy in the race. It was a lifetime experience for both of us. I will never forget her laugh as we passed the cheering spectators or scream as we went down a hill. Her family was so excited as we crossed the finish line. Then tragedy struck. 2 weeks later, she passed away. I remained in contact with her family and tried to give them love and support through this past year. This year- I will be doing the Manchester Road Race- but I will be walking it with Amanda's family. I have no time goal, this race and this day will be to remember a sweet, loving, laughing girl who was taken all to soon.
Ok, I am IN!!. Gotta go big or go crazy.....oh wait spending the rest of the day tomorrow with the family is crazy enough..hahahaha.
Laura, hope that all goes well tomorrow.
Bring on the food!!
Happy Thanksgiving

Ran a little better than expected this morning and found an extra VDot point. Happy Thanksgiving Team!!!
Ran pretty well. Right where I thought I would be. A 10K out -n- back with a pretty nice headwind on the return. Really happy for my 11 year old son who bagged his first 5K. Now off to the next challenge, watching football and having even pacing with beers per quarter. Happy Thanksgiving.
