Since we went away for Thanksgiving this year, I wasn't able to run the 8K Buffalo YMCA Turkey Trot. I was pretty bummed since I had already paid and registered for it as well. I told Mike the only way I would go to Olean for the holiday, is if we found a race for me to run that morning. So... he did! Good Job honey. It was free, exepct for a canned good to the local food pantry, so I didn't feel so bad about paying and missing the Buffalo one. this one was only a 5K (3.1 miles) rather then 8K (5 miles) which probably ended up for the best, since 1- I hadn't ran in almost 3 weeks. 2- It was a different area that I wasn't familiar with and 3- I ended up sick and figthing a pretty yucky cold the whole weekend. So it all worked out in the end. I still finished in an OK amout of time, I am pretty consistent with all of my time. This one was 39:43 I believe. that was what Mike timed me. Exact time really isn't known, since they don't have a clock there, and it's not chip timed. Oh yea. It was snowing when we woke up, pouring rain by the I started running and only about 34 outside. Brrrr......
Here is my super cute turkey ribbon I got for the holiday! If anyone has any little girls and is looking for some super cute hair bows, let me know and I can send you Belly's Bow's info. Too cute! She even has Christmas Trees for Christmas!
The race course was all along St. Bonaventure University In Allegany, NY
There I am running past Student housing.
Coming up to the finish line. My pants, which I have never ran in before really ended up weighing me down. The wet from the rain made them way heavy, and they were too long wet, and I kept stepping on them. lesson - never wear new pants in a race when it's raining.
Before the race. I was pretty bundled up. It was COLD!
