I was going to sign up for a Turkey Trot that is taking place tomorrow. A few weeks ago, when my Dad's health was so bad, I didn't know what we would be doing or where we would be on Thanksgiving, so I never signed up. He's currently back in Fresno and I'll get to see him this week. I don't have a race scheduled, so I did a Turkey Trot of my own this morning!
I couldn't have picked a more beautiful morning - 49 degrees, not a cloud in the sky and no wind. I didn't have a time or distance goal, I just wanted to see how I would do. I didn't feel great, but I ended up running six miles! I can tell I'm still not completely recovered from the marathon (11 days ago) but I'm starting to feel a little more pep in my legs.
I had a great ride on my mountain bike yesterday - even set a new PR on Marr Ranch Blacktop, taking second place overall of women! I shaved 3 seconds off my best time. First place is safe for now - I'm 15 seconds behind her.
Tomorrow will be a rest day, then we're planning to go hiking in Yosemite on Friday. What about you - any Turkey Trot plans?
Setting a PR & taking second still recovering from the marathon is pretty good in my book;-) Happy Thanksgiving! I'll be running a 5 miler turkey trot at 9 tomorrow; yeah!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the mountain bike! I am doing a Turkey Trot 5k and a street mile tomorrow. Not sure why I think I need to do a street mile after the 5k but I get a little crazy like that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! It's always nice to "meet" other runners...especially Pentecostal runners! :)
ReplyDeleteNice job on the ride! Pretty sure you could easily take those 15 seconds! :)
