Turkey Trot 11-26-2009

On Thanksgiving morning Jason the kids and I went to the Turkey Trot 5k in Frederick. The 1k race started at 8am so we woke up early and got there around 7:15. Dale and I ran the 1k together at 8 am and then I ran the 5k that started at 8:30.
This is Dale and I running together almost at the finish line. He ran the whole thing. He said the other runners were too fast for him to win but he liked to run. He asked to hold my hand about halfway through.
Here we are at the finish line.
Dale and I with our numbers and his medal he got for finishing the 1k race.

The starting and finishing line of the 5k race. There were 971 women and 843 men registered to run.

If you click on this photo to enlarge it you can see better my head in the top left portion of the picture. The race just started and everyone is off.

Here I am approaching the finish line. When I got close enough to see the timer I was shocked at how fast I had run. 26:02 my best time. I was 127 out of 971 women and 18th out of 110 in my age group.

Dale, Emma and I with their balloons and the hats they gave the racers for registering.
