9:45 AM - Temperature in mid 30s, partly sunny. Never seen so many people at the Turkey Trot! There were a record 5,500 people that registered for the 5k! I decided to run with my sister and we had to run down an alley the next block over and come from behind to the back of the pack as the crowd was too thick up front! Crazy!
Unfortunately Emma couldn't run. She got out of work yesterday at 7:00 pm and was dropping off the phone to the next resident staff person and tripped on their stupid stone staircase on the way down. I don't think it's a bad sprain, no black and blues, but it is defnitely swollen. I had her elevate it yesterday and I iced it for her. She is such a trooper for coming out there today!. I'm still waiting for the race results to be posted, but it will be cool to see (I nixed the 10k and opted to run with Emma's bib number and chip for her with my sister in the 5k). Then also just turned in my 10k chip since I wouldn't be running that either. It was still a fun run though! MY SISTER IS AWESOME! THIS WAS HER FIRST 5k! PICTURES TO COME SOON! Wait til you see Jonny! hahaha. He dressed as an Indian and led the field of 5500 in the first 100 meters!! So cool! Will be interesting to see how well Su and I did. We started off slow and sped up and finished with about a 9:30 mile or so. She looked strong in her first 5k ever :) . I am betting we passed like 400-500 people!
Cooled down to the parking garage.
Total Time: 3.75 mi Total Distance: 3.75 mi Average Pace: 10:14
My sister Su, my brother Jonny and me after the trot.
*Note: Jonn made the 5:00 and 6:00 news on no fewer than three tv stations! How cool is that?! |
