Oh, forgot to mention I’m going to be racing again!
Mystic YMCA does an annual Turkey Trot and Dip. Missy’s doing the 3 mile race; Jake is running the 1 mile race, and Nate and I are going to be chasing Jake in with the stroller!
The funny thing? Since it’s my first official mile race, Jake and I are both going to set PR’s!
We drove the course on Sunday after Family Swim; Jake is a little bit intimidated by the hill between the start and the turn-around. I told him he’d be fine…
Friday will officially be the first day I run again after the Mystic Marathon, having taken a month off from running to concentrate on lifting and to give myself a chance to rest after 8 months of hard training and racing. And in that time you will have run a second marathon and a 1 mile race…my hat’s off to you. There is a new 1 mile race here in Portland that I ran this past year; I will probably run it again next year. I am usually out of town for the other 1 mile races I know about around here.
I am so jealous. My parents town in Pennsylvania, where I will be spending Thanksgiving, doesn’t have a Turkey Trot. I am thinking of starting one with my family.
I looked for a Turkey Trot here but the closest one was 100 miles north.
Have a great race!
did i read that right? missy is doing the 5k? AWESOME! wish her a good race for us!
you TOTALLY have to hype up the 1 mile pr for jake. “pr’s are a huge deal, son. let’s frame that race time”
best wishes for the race and a happy turkey day!
Thank you. I already looking forward to next year :) you and your family have a blessed thanksgiving and have fun at the turkey trot with the boys.
Happy thanksgiving. Fun runs with the kids are a blast.
Yeah for Missy and Jake! (Oh and you ,too!) I thought of you all as I headed down 95 past the Mystic exits last night–and again as I ran around the neighborhood today. Hope you had a great thanksgiving and made special memories during the races.
A mile race with a stroller? That’s in a PR category all by itself. Hope the race went well, Jank.
