Health issues conspired to keep me off the road for the bulk of the time since my last update. Luckily I am back on my feet again and feeling better than I have in a long time. Even so, I was considering sitting out the Blue Point Smiles Change Lives Turkey Trot. Having run about five miles since the Republic Airport 5K I knew I was going to be in for a bad day.
Thanksgiving morning I rolled out of bed and decided that I would regret not getting out there. Dori and I dropped Aidan off with Pappa and Grandma for the morning and we got lost on our way to Cory Beach.
My goal continues to be the sub thirty minute 5k. Having not been out on the road I knew that the chances of me doing it on Thanksgiving morning were slim to none. But I told myself that today was the day. I lined up in in the middle of the pack at the starting line. I learned later that there were over seven hundred people running the race. Based upon how packed in we all were I think that may be a low number.
Long story short. The Thirty minute barrier remains. I crossed the finish line in 32:11.
