Turkey Trot Thursday Reports & Workouts......

I went for a run with hubby.  He is a great runner and before I wouldnt have even considered keeping up with him.  I still can't keep up with him but I stayed within sight of him for the duration.  We did about 3 miles and I'm having some congestion issues so I was really proud of making myself get up and get going!  Had a great day, ate more than I should have but not as much as I could have.

I did a 5k for the local YMCA.
Wanted to beat my October 5k time of 28:11.

I finished in 26:52 (8:43 min/mile).

Thinking about doing another on in December.  My trainer wants me to jump to the 1/2 marathon.  I'm not so sure yet =)

I did Turkey Trot here in Charlotte NC.  It's my second race and I was very proud of myself cause I worked on pacing myself this race and shaved a lil over 4 minutes off of my last time for a finish time of 38.08 (official says 38.10).  My goal is to be under 35 minutes in feb. when I do my next race.  Wooohhooooo!!! 

Never in my wildest dreams thought I would take up running for fun. MOST DEFINTELY never thought I would be up in the wee hours of the am on Thanksgiving preparing for and competing in a race.  Am I mad?!?  lol
