Turkey Trot

Six thousand of my closest friends and I Turkey Trotted this morning. Since it was crowded until the 5k turnaround, I couldn't get up to full 5k pace. So I kept going and ran the 10k. My time (55 minutes by my watch) was just 1 minute slower than my PB, so I was pretty (ok, make that sorta) happy. Aside from the crowding, the event was extremely nice. Lots of volunteers. Good causes. Perfect weather.

My goal next year is to break 50 minutes, so I have some training to do. I noticed that the younger people really out kick me at the end. Will work on that, as well as general speed.

Post-race stupid moment: Walking right past my car, staring at rest of the nearly empty street and thinking I got towed.
