2016 Troy Turkey Trot 10K
It’s somewhat of a tradition for my friends and I to run the Troy Turkey Trot 10K on Thanksgiving morning. You may have noticed I haven’t been running much lately! I’ve had a reoccurring hip issue for the past few months. I took the entire month of October off from running and skipped two half marathons I was signed up for, hoping that it would get better. On Halloween I ran for the first time in a month, with short runs here and there after that, nothing over four miles. I had thought my hip was healed! At about mile 5 of the Turkey Trot, my hip started aching (not enough to…

Troy Turkey Trot 10K
Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you all had a great day today. I started out my thanksgiving this morning with the Turkey Trot in Troy! It was my third time running this race but the first time doing the 10K. I didn’t really want to leave my apartment this morning to go running in 20mph winds and 23 degrees…but I’ve ran in worse so I had no excuse. Christine and I shivering before the race for started. I did a 2.3 mile warm up before the race to stay warm so once I got running it wasn’t too bad. My only goal for the 10K was to finish under an hour. I…

Virtual Turkey Trot and Thanksgiving Dinner
Happy belated Thanksgiving! I hope everyone had a great turkey day! I know mine was nice. I started off the morning with my own turkey trot since I wasn’t running any local races this year. It was a nice little 9 mile loop I also like to call the loop of death because of some monstrous hills. I ran this route a lot during marathon training to get me ready for the race. Its peaceful but the hills are killer–they never get easier. The run was tough, but I finished it with an average pace of 10:29…I was aiming for 10 minute mile but the hills just slow me down!…

Bethlehem Turkey Trot 5K + Thanksgiving Dinner
Happy Thanksgiving! Today marks my 13th (last probably last) race of 2010! And it was the first race I went to completely alone! Not that I minded, but it was weird not having someone there to wait with and chat with and meet at the finish line. Last year I ran the Troy Turkey Trot, and this year I decided to run the first Our Towne Bethlehem Turkey Trot! For one, it is way closer to where I live than Troy, and for two, there are less people running and I had a better a chance of PRing! I woke up early to the sun coming up in my backyard.…

The Thanksgiving Dilemma Part II
Some of you may be wondering about what I’ll be eating Thursday on Thanksgiving if you’ve read my Thanksgiving Dilemma post a few weeks ago. I’m actually pretty happy to say that my dad was successful in his turkey hunting adventures and came home one day with not only one, but two wild turkeys! And yes, one looked just like this. Sort of. (source) I do have photos of my dad with his birds. I debated, but I’m not going to post the pictures. Even though I’m proud of my dad, I’m not that comfortable looking at the dead animals myself, and I know many of you probably wouldn’t want…
