Turkey Trot!

Kels and I got up nice and early and headed down to our race.  We were scheduled for an 8k this morning.  It was a pretty chilly morning, and there were a bunch of people there.  Race went off at 9:10.  It was amazing to run without hills!  Race felt great! I actually managed to run without stopping, more than I can say for my other 5ks...  Was not super fast, but felt great.  Especially for a pole vaulter who never runs more than a mile at a time :)  Had a lot left at the end.  Some high school girl, running the 5K i think, tried to out sprint me in the last 150m.  So as I saw her coming though, I took off.  Prob ran about a 20 sec 100 to finish!  I def do not know how to run distance races yet!  But hey, I am learning!  Overall it took me 42:38, unofficially.  I am quite pleased!
