A Quick Turkey Run report

So I ran a turkey trot race this past Saturday, I didn't bring home a turkey but it felt good to finally be able to sign up for a race again.. I find myself trying to put together next year's race schedule. Do you have your first half of the year's race schedule already put together??

I didn't take a pic of breakfast but it was the usual suspects a chocolate chip peanut odwalla bar, banana and some water to wash it down.














A wise person once said "If it's not Baroque, don't fix it!" okay so it was Cogsworth from Beauty and the Beast but it still applies.


This is what the ride up looked like about an hour drive which is a normal race day drive for me

not much to look at but sunrises never fail to impress me.
My standard pre-race pic of myself don't let the sun and clear skies fool you it was cold and a little breezy out so my running sleeves came in handy.

The race was a flat run through a neighborhood near the recreation center that was holding the event. I was really hoping to run a race in under 30 mins. before the end of the year and I am still undecided if I should give it one more shot on Dec. 5 and do a local run which I think is very appropriately named the Freeze & Wheeze. Anywho back to my point i did not meet my goal I did get a new PR though I came in at 30.50 which is 2 minutes and 5 seconds faster than my previous time so hooray for small victories.

I hope everyone had a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving and Congratulations to all those brave souls how decided to get out and run on Thanksgiving Day!!!
