Happy Thanksgiving! Today was the annual Turkey Trot. This is an 8K race through Lincoln Park. It was a gorgeous day. sun was shining and the temps were in the upper 40's. Several thousand people were out and ready to go. And go we did.
As soon as gun went off, everyone flew out onto the course. I was no different. I barrelled down the road. Of course not fast enough to keep my boss from passing me. Still my first mile was under 12 minutes. My second mile was at 12 minutes. Same for the third. It was hard to keep that pace. My goal was to finish under an hour.
My ankles were killing me. I blame it on the new shoes, and will be getting another pair shortly. Still I managed a new PR - 1:00:30 (unofficial time). I was plenty happy with that.
Now I can go eat Thanksgiving dinner.
Gobble Gobble.
