Well, the annual Turkey Trot was held at Thanksgiving and Maegan decided she wanted to participate. The TT was a 2 mile walk/run fun event where each person had to guess their time at the finish. The participant with the closest time to their predicted finish would receive prizes (i.e., 1st place - a turkey, second and third place - a chicken). Each participant was not allowed to have a watch with them. Maegan had never ran more than a half of a mile at once so this was a big challenge for her. We watched her dash off at the beginning and we met her at several points along the route. After a while she had to walk and at times struggled through the event. However, she persevered and finished like a champion. We were so proud of her for weathering through the pain. When it was all said and done, she found out that she came in second place within 9 seconds of her predicted time. It was amazing and she was very excited to bring the frozen chicken home for dinner. Way to go Maegan!!!!
