Uptown Shelby

I bumped into Karma Edwards in uptown Shelby fresh from competing in this morning's 9th Annual Boiling Springs YMCA 5K Turkey Trot.

Ms. Edwards is the "Fit Together" Project Coordinator for the Cleveland County Health Department.

I had hoped to make it to Boiling Springs to catch the tail end of the run but it finished faster than I expected.

"I feel like I've been beat up," she joked about the race.

When asked what she's thankful for this year, she said she's thankful for every day she has, the opportunity to get together with family, her faith in God, and her health and well being.

Ms. Edwards said she has two Thanksgiving meals planned for the day. A veteran of Black Friday shopping, she plans to drive to Concord Mills in time for tonight's midnight sale and hopefully be back home by 10 a.m. to sleep the rest of the day.
