Happy Thanksgiving!
We're having a quiet Turkey Day at the Mansfields today. We'll have dinner late afternoon and dessert after that. We've been invited to a couple of places and we may yet still have some family drop by. But this will be our quiet, family year.
To work off the 3,000 calories, I again entered the Chesterfield Turkey Trot 5k race this morning. I even talked another family into joining me for the new annual adventure. Fortunately, it was dry and clear (unlike last year when it snowed and iced the night before leaving the ground treacherous). There was a slight breeze and it was chilly with temps in the low 30s. But who cares when you are running with 1,500 other people all at the same time?
My first two miles were really good time but I faltered in the last hal-mile with a side cramp. ;-( Came in with a 9:17 pace (placing 739 out of 1566 overall and 67th in the men's 40-45 age group). Oh well, there's always next year.
