2010 Turkey Trot

I ran the Inside Out Turkey Trot 8k for the 3rd time today.  Last year I kicked the heck out of a bunch of little kids in the 1 miler, but decided to let some other jerk have that honor this year. ;-)

The run went well, I have been very consistent with the runs and it is paying off.  Mile 1 - 6:07, Mile 2 - 6:20, Mile 3 - 6:38, Mile 4 - 6:24, Mile 5 - 6:35.  Total time 32:05 or so.  Miles 1 3 and 5 are pretty hilly.

I jogged to and from the race with the super-hyped up Tassie.  She rocked the show and made lots of new friends.

We're going to spend the rest of the day cleaning the house (or napping) then head over to a friend's for a nice T day meal.

A couple funny Thanksgiving related things people have pointed me to:

Have a good one.

Beach 2 Battleship weekend

Bri and I went down to Wilmington to catch the B2B race on Saturday morning.  We had a few athletes racing in the half and one of our regular masters swimmers in the full.  Dinner the night before with a few of our gang, then early to bed to be well rested for a full day of cheering and jeering on the course. 

We were smart and brought our beach chairs this time to set up along the Riverwalk area.  Cancel that - they were still in the car from another trip so we made use of them.  Either way, it was as fun as a day of watching people torture themselves in a long distance triathlon. Our crew had 2 PRs, 2 first-timers, and 1 struggled in the cold but finished.

I am signed up for the Inside Out Sports Turkey Trot 8k on Thanksgiving.  May not do any races in December but will find something in January.

In other news, there is no other news, which is good news.
