Thanksgiving day 10k

Thanksgiving 2007= Sleep in then eat, eat and eat some more.

Thanksgiving 2008=Get up at 6 am, smoothie for breakfast. Drive 45 minutes to Erie PA to run in the 2008 Erie Runners Club Turkey Trot around Presque Isle Peninsula.

Run first ever stand alone 10k in 41:34.

Go home, eat some recovery food, drive back to Erie for turkey dinner and relaxation.

Was hoping to go sub 40 minutes, but right at warmup I knew it wasn't going to happen. Legs were tired from all the running over the last week. Just went at a good hard pace but tired legs only let me push so hard.

But it was still a good, fun run, and made the huge slice of pie at dinner taste a little less guilty.
