I ran the Thanksgiving Day Earn your Turkey 4 mile run. My splits were fairly consistant: 6:14, 6:13, 6:30, 6:14. My third mile is slower than the others every year. I think this stretch has a very slight uphill grade. I was pleased my time was 24 sec faster than last year, although I was hoping for more like 40 seconds faster. I got my turkey and my boys love turkey.
My kids also ran their races and seemed to have a good time. My 3 year old got a ribbon for 5th place. As she sat in the car holding it on the way to Grandma's house she asked "Did I win?" and the conversation continuted like this, "You got 5th place, so you were one of the winners" "So did I win?" "Well they have 5 winners and you got a ribbon for being the 5th winner," "So did I win?" "Yes Elsa, you won," "Oh." |
