As mentioned earlier this week, I participated in my first turkey trot in Somerville, MA. While it was a cool and foggy this morning, the event was great and I ran about two minutes faster than I expected and accomplished negative splits.
While I am not really ready to compete, going after age group awards or whatever, I feel a lot better running races, even if there are 2,000 other runners around me that I don't know. And my ankle held up well, which didn't come as a surprise, but certainly was a relief. I look forward to running it again next year.
And Kacey got to see her daddy run too! My wife said that I was approaching the end, my little girl spit out her pacifier and let out a yell! It's nice to have your own cheering section.
She was happy I came back though, even if i was a little sweaty... Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
