| 5 miles before work at 6:30 am. Average pace was 7:22. I really need to get back on to a regular schedule this week. Since wineglass, I've been floundering around missing most my runs and just being lazy. I've only had one week with a semblance of mileage. I hope I can use the holiday week to kick start my running again |

Turkey Trot Time! To recap last year: Time 36:24 (7:19 pace) and 720th place. Only seriously running again for a couple months before. My ultimate goal this year was to run 31:30 but my training the last couple weeks was iffy so I softened it to 32:30
Course: It's a point to point 8k which starts in the North of the
city and is a straight shot ending downtown. It's fairly flat but has
some long false flats and slight uphills during the first 3 miles which
can be draining. Once again it hi its cap of 13200 registrants.
Pre-Race/Weather:
It's chilly and about 40 out with sun. Perfect running weather. Since Wineglass, my running has been real sporadic and not good at all. Plus I've been non-specifically sick for the last 2 weeks so I was even debating running. Ashley has not feeling good and her Asthma was acting up so she bailed. I decided to stick it out and jogged over the 1 mile to the start. I went to line up at the 6min/mile pace line and just like last year there were lots of people lined up inappropriately. A pair next to me was hoping to break 55 minutes and I had a 6 year old and some older
ladies in front of me. I was talking to a friend after the race and it's getting dangerous for the dozen or so rows of people behind the start. If they want to run a race that big, it's time they go to a seeded corral for anyone looking to run under 35.
Race:
It's off and I get settled. The first mile feels great at 6:08, suprising myself. I let it slow to 6:20 the next becasue I didn't think running 6:10 was going to work today. The next mile was were it all fell apart, I knew I should have started slower. Mile 3 and 4 were 3:39 and 6:35 and I sucking wind and ready to blow up. During the last 2 miles the people started to catch me but I knew I had to let them go. Finished up the last mile in 6:26 and hit my goal time coming in at 32:12. Finish was 189 of 11899 using the gun time. Got 23 of 690 in my age group. I
was moderately happy with my finish especially with how I've been feeling. I really would have liked to go a little faster but it just wasn't in the stars. Once I'm feeling up to snuff I'm getting back on the training train and ready to build mileage for summer racing. I have some mighty goals lined up
