Tofurkey Trot

On Thanksgiving, my brother, dad and I ran the Turkey Trot 5k at Cary Crossroads. Dave and I ran in our vibram bikilas and got lots of fun attention from other runners. We each performed very well in the race and felt great afterwards!

I got 19th out of 348 runners, was the 2nd female to finish, and got 1st in my age group (20-24). My time was 21:25 and my pace was 6:56 min/mile. I'm so pleased with how strong I felt, and I really think I could've run faster and beat the girl that was running the 6:50 pace in front of me. I hadn't run in a race in over a year, and it was SO fun!! It was an incredible way to see how my crossfit training is really proving to be exceptional for keeping me in running shape, and great shape overall. I sort of expected to run a 24 min 5k, but I haven't run under a 22 min timed 5k since highschool cross country! What a wonderful way to celebrate Tofurkey day!!
