Hey everyone!

This is first post in the new Fitblogger weekly feature in which I will report all of the great fitbloggers who are racing this week – The Fitblogger Community Race Calendar.

It seems this is a very busy race week here in Fitblogger land: SIX of our community members raced this past weekend, and many more who will be earning their turkey by racing on Thanksgiving Day.

On Saturday, Tanya (aka @iateapie) from Girlxoxo brought home some awesome race swag for finishing 2nd in her age group in the Thomas Bull Memorial Park 10K Race. Tanya’s butt kicking finishing time was an impressive 1:02:24! Can I say wow?!!

Then on Sunday we had FIVE more members race:

• Both Jamie (aka @FoodinRL) from Food In Real Life and Marisa (aka @Loser_For_Life) from Loser For Life ran the Philidelphia Half-Marathon (this was both of their FIRST half-marathons, might I add). Jamie finished with a time of: 2:12:58. (Marisa can you hit us up in the comments and let us know your finishing time?)
• Gym Belle (aka @GymPressions) of GymPressions also ran the Philidelphia Half-Marathon and set a NEW PR! Her finishing time was a half-mary butt-kicking time of 1:57:36!!!
• Jill (aka @JillSnackSpot) from Jill Snack Spot ran the Race to Deliver 4miles – this was race number 8 of the 9 she needs to do in order to secure her spot in the 2011 New York City Marathon! Jill finished her 4 miler in a speedy 38 minutes!!
• And Renee (aka @lowfatpie) from Low Fat Pie finished the Zevenheuvelenloop (Seven Hills Run) Nijmegen 15K (in the Netherlands) with an astonishing 1:39:26!

Please take a moment and congratulate all of our friends who raced this weekend! I’m so inspired by them!

In addition to those who ran this past weekend, we also have another ELEVEN members earning their turkey by racing on Thanksgiving day! They are:
