With the memory of five Stingray Swim Club members having successfully completed September’s O’Hare Airport’s New Runway 5K Run/Walk, Stingray Nancy Cihlar feltĀ motivatedĀ toĀ initiate the club’s new event: aĀ Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot. Thus, a new way of moving was begun for the swimmers!

Though at 8 a.m., theĀ morning started off damp and dreary, eight club members proved up for the challengeĀ and the possible controlling of calories to be consumed that day at later holiday meals.Ā Nancy Moore and Nick Koplos chose to run theĀ 3 mile trek through Del Webb Boulevard and Cold Springs Drive, while Coach Len Lencioni, Sandy and Carl Hupert, DeniseĀ Grandolfo, Nancy Cihlar, and Joanie Koplos “trotted the trot”Ā by walking on the same pathways.Ā The groupĀ completed the exerciseĀ just 45 minutes before the day’s torrential rains came down.Ā Before the trottersĀ departed for family gatherings, Ms. Cihlar commented, “I’d like to make this an annual event.”
Nancy Moore added, “I’ll bringĀ items for tailgating next year!”
