As per tradition (does one time before count as tradition?), Adrienne and I ran the Ashenfelter 8K Classic Thanksgiving Day morning in Glen Ridge, the next town over. With more than 2000 runners, there was a good amount of Thanksgiving cheer! I don’t think either of us were quite as prepared (training-wise) as last year. But we ended up just a bit more than a minute slower. And I really think we could have done a good bit better, had Adrienne let me push her more (yes, we mostly ran together or at least within sight as I kind of paced Adrienne).<\/p>\n

Another cool note: to register you just send in your check and form and the night before you pick up your packet with your number, etc. Adrienne ended up with badge number 1747 and I got 1748. After the race we checked the race results<\/a> and what place did I finish? 1748! Adrienne actually crossed the finish line before me, but the time (and thus place) are (correctly) calculated from the time you cross the starting line, so I ended up being a couple seconds faster. Adrienne placed 1749.<\/p>\n

Not a bad way to start off Turkey Day, even if it’s not quite a Turkey Trot.<\/p>\n

And yeah, we’re too cheap to actually purchase the photos, so you get the screengrab with the watermark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
