Turkey Reality Check
It was sunny for 40 minutes today. I did a 29:39 run during that time. It was BRILLIANT out-I was hot while I was running-and it rained immediately before and after my mid-day run. I still feel severely out of running shape but I am hopeful that will go away soon. At least at this point I should be able to finish the turkey trot (5K). I am definitely not racing. Maybe I will try and run briskly to justify paying the entry fee. Maybe 8 minute miles (if I can) for a sub-25? This will probably prove to be my slowest timed 5K ever (the current slowest being 24:14 around 1994). I don’t know. Maybe my dad will want a pacer or something. I am not good at going at a specific speed but perhaps my company will be motivational. That would be fun if he ran fast-though with him running hard and me not, I may not be able to keep up with him! I will be a useless pacer from behind. I have no idea. It’s kind of cool that racing is all about “who brings what” on race day. It’s also cool that I will have no anxiety before the race and it shouldn’t hurt at all. What is decidedly NOT COOL is that my younger brothers will probably beat me. Oh the AGONY!!!!
