39:54 (I never thought I'd see sub-40 again).
Decided I would give the 10K at the Turkey Trot a try this year. Couldn't talk anyone else into going, although I later found out that my mother-in-law was partially thinking about going. They did have the nicest looking shirts this year. Actually, I didn't think I'd have time to get the shirt and get back to my car to drop it off, but when I saw them I figured I could make it and use the run back to the car, and over to the start line as my warm-up.
1.11 mile warmup, got to the start about 15 minutes early to line
up. Weather was nice, I was a little cold when I first got out of my car, but half way through the race it had gotten warm enough that I was thankful it wasn't any warmer.
Weaved through the first mile but manged 6:24 pace, 2nd mile was
6:10 and felt great. Hung on after that until I could see tattoo Mike,
closed the gap a little but didn't catch him.
Got out-kicked at the
very end by my sports doctor (Cottrell). I got a mug with 45th place. I
wasn't expecting to do so well after Jenny
's hard core boot camp last night - or maybe that is why I did well,
along with the shock top with my father-in-law after the boot camp!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
