Turkey Trot

November 24, 2016 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Woke up nice and early and got some eats before heading down to the high school for the turkey trot. Cristiam came along. It wasn't terribly cold but wet and cloudy. Just a gloomy looking day. Turkey Trot was kinda slim not as many people there. We hung around for a while but didn't have too much time before it started. I sped ahead alone, separated from old team mates and just running with whomever. I did end up next to Robert for a little bit but then sped ahead, trying to hold a quicker pace. I was rolling along nicely, and only started to feel tired and slowing down in the golf course. Once I did the golf course loop, I actually swung around back into Stewart Park to look and see if I could find Cristiam, so I stopped there for maybe 5-10 min. Couldn't see him, actually mostly everyone had passed already, so I came back across and went through the bird sanctuary. It wasn't as muddy and nasty as I was expecting. Finished up way off my time of 56:00 but closer than if I had run the whole thing straight, probably would have had a comparable time to recent years. When I finished I just went inside needing some cider and a stretch.

Essentials: Stretch

Honestly, a very light stretch didn't really focus on sitting down. Got some food and hung around briefly, but most people actually left soon after. Quads and hips sore, and feeling just overall tired in the afternoon. But wow just running today felt so good and for a long period of time too I felt pretty solid on a nice friendly and familiar course.
