It poured right up to the 9:00 start but amazingly 33 folks showed up to the 2nd Annual Zoomers Turkey Raffle Run at South Gulf Cove Park. As we gathered under the pavilion wondering if the run was going to happen, we all got a chance to chat and get to know each other a little better. We pushed the start to 9:15 and at that time the rain had stopped and off they went around and around the one mile loop gathering their raffle tickets. Zoomers purchased 4 huge turkeys and the odds were good to win one. Although some individuals didn't bring a raffle item to pay for their registration, everyone went
Thank you Carla Sargent for co-directing the fun run.

December Birthdays!! Sagittarius:
November 22 – Decem-ber 21
Element: Fire Symbol: The Archer Life Pursuit: To live
the good life Secret Desire: To
make a difference in the world
Good news and bad
news for runners born
under this star. The good
news is that you are al-
ready living the good life
just by being a runner.
The bad news is that if
you want to make a
difference in the world
you will need to branch
out beyond yourself.
Consider running your
next race for a charity
and raising money for a
good cause. This might
just be the bullseye your
inner archer is looking
for.
Capricorn: December
22 – January 19
Element: Earth
Symbol: The Goat
Life Pursuit: To be proud of achieve-ments
Secret Desire: To be admired by their family, friends, and the world
Don’t buy into the hype
that you have to win a
race to be proud of
your achievements. You
do not have to be a
champion to be ad-
mired by your family,
friends, and the world.
Sometimes just finish-
ing a race is a fantastic
achievement. If that is
not enough then may-
be consider doing
something no one has
ever done like being
the first person to run
50 marathons in 50
states backwards!

Butternut Squash Soup with Chipotle Cream Recipe courtesy of Marcela Valladolid
Total Time:
1 hr 45 min Prep: 15 min Cook: 1 hr 30 min
Ingredients
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided 1 medium butternut squash, halved lengthwise, seeds discarded, washed, and reserved Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 medium onion, chopped 2 stalks celery, chopped 2 carrots, chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced 6 cups chicken broth, divided
2 teaspoons minced canned chipotle chiles in adobo
Chipotle Cream: 1 teaspoon minced canned chipotle chiles in adobo 1/2 cup sour cream
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Using 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, grease the sliced surface of the squash and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Ar-range on a baking sheet and roast until very tender, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. In a large heavy pot over medium-high heat, add the remaining olive oil, onion, celery, and carrot, then season with a pinch of salt. Saute until just tender, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Scoop the butternut squash flesh into the pot and stir. Add 4 cups of the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer until the vegetables are very tender, about 30 minutes.
Turn off the heat and using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup until very smooth. If necessary, add more of the remaining stock to create desired consistency. Mix in 2 teaspoons of the chipotle into the soup, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. In a small bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon of chipotle and the sour cream. Season the chipotle cream with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer the soup to bowls. Top each with a dollop of chipotle cream and serve.
