Race 43 Second Best 10k of the Year
San Jose Turkey Trot
Thursday, November 22nd, 2012
This is the best way to start off Thanksgiving morning. My family has been doing this for the last six years and we just love it. I ran the 10k and finished in 42:19 which is 6:49/mile pace. Felt good. What really helped was when a friend of mine JT Service (next to me on the right at finish) came up to me at four miles. Just two miles to go he said. I hung with him to the finish. I am now just 1:47 in total off pace. I have seven races to go. My next race is the Run WIld For A Child 5k in SF on Sunday. Catheirne and I are leaving for the city (SF) and we are going to spend the weekend. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I will post more later... Comments and Feedback

Race 42 - Davis Turkey Trot
It was rainy and windy
Saturday, November 17th, 2012
This was a tough race but I was able to get back 31 seconds. I was hoping to pick up more but with the weather as it was I am pleased. I ran 42:59. I was 21:02 at 5k. Lost focus the second half. The wind was really bad the last half mile. Good course and good event. Always tough when it rains. My next race is 10k on Thanksgiving morning in San Jose. We need this rain but.... Five minutes before the start...then it started raining again At about the quarter mile mark. I ran the first mile in 6:35. I really don't mind running in weather like this but when you are going for time it does cost seconds. I know I lost 30 seconds today. But I made up 31 seconds. Now I am just 2:59 in total off pace. My next race is Thanksgiving morning in San Jose. I hope to get under 42:30 there. Photos by Catherine Cross (Michael and Waitman were there in the rain capturing some good video for the movie. On Sunday the weather was great.) Comments and Feedback
