9 am - Annual Turkey Trot 4-miler.  Beautiful day!  Chilly at first, but then the sun warmed up the temperature to about 60.  This is a fun race - located at Shelby Farms, 1600 runners, many from out of town, visiting their families here in the Memphis area.  Benefits the March of Dimes.

At the start - started out very strong and a bit too fast.  Ran hard the first two miles and was able to keep up with my triathlon team-mate (and age-group mate), Jeanine, who is quite a bit faster than me.  Then at two miles, I felt like I might puke and had to slow down the pace, so the third mile was my slowest.  Picked it back up in the 4th mile.  Finished with a PR and was about 20 seconds behind Jeanine.  She took first in our age group, I took second and was happy with my time.

Ran around the lake at Shelby Farms, then out around the parking area several times to add more mileage for the day.  Beautiful, sunny, and warm day!  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Congrats on another PR! Sometimes its the right thing to do to start out a little fast, especially on these shorter races. If you never feel like you're going to puke how do you know you've pushed your limits? Great job on your Turkey race!

Great run there! Well done on the PR
