It looked like the runners and walkers at the Hartsville YMCA Turkey Trot of 2009 were one of the largest crowds since the race began in 1992. It was foggy but fun. This is one of those "homecoming" events that is like a big reunion.
The YMCA staff and volunteers have been working this race on Thanksgiving and those of us who participate say THANKS to these volunteers and the Hartsville police who also provide on route protection. Thanks!
One of the runners in today[s race was Clyde Weaver. Clyde has been running for a long time, long before running became cool. And he has kept at it. He said the heart is ticking great but the legs are beginning to go -- maybe because he has been on the go for 86 years, many of them as an elementary school principal. He finished the 3.1 mile course in 64 minutes -- my running hero.
