Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day 2008

There's no one more determined than Nate when it comes to running! It was an extremely cold and very windy day on Thanksgiving in Camas. Nate was up and ready to go to the race by 6 am. He was not going to let the weather keep him from running the race. He took Adalei and pushed her in the stroller while he ran. He would have come in first place in the race but he stopped to take care of Adalei when she cried. She had a great time with her dad. He even carried her the last leg of the race. He had to be tired but he doesn't look like it in these pictures.

After the race, so many people came and congratulated Nate on his race and for being a #1 dad and giving up the lead position for Adalei. I think it was a 3 mile race. They started the race at 7 am when it was still dark. By the time the race was over, I was able to take these pictures.

It was so cold that I didn't even watch the race like I wanted to. I stayed in the car and tried to keep warm. Adalei was quite cold after the race but she didn't complain at all. I think running the Turkey Trot is becoming an annual tradition for Nate. Congratulations Nate! You did great!

I don't know how he runs in such cold weather! He motivates me to start running again. Jason always takes Paisley running and she LOVES it. But her poor hands are always so cold when she gets home. So she can relate to Adalei!
