great TXU Turkey Trott 2009 3 mi 00:23 07:38 pace

A new personal best! One year ago today was my first ever race as an adult. It was this same Turkey Trot. I was looking forward all year to get another crack at this race. Last year I ran it in 27:42 and my goal this year was 25. Talking with Devin in the car he asked me about my goal and if I thought I could do it. I said that I didn't know really. He then said "Well that is a good way to tell you have a good goal. Cause if you know how you are going to do then you are not challenging yourself." I was pumped when I came in under 23 minutes. Woo Hoo!!!

EDIT: They finally posted the results and they changed the distance to a 3 mile race rather than a 5K. So, it is still a personal best for 3 miles, just not for a full 5K. Even with the shorter distance my pace is still well below an 8 minute mile so I am pumped.

    Nope. My wife LeighAnn just had a baby. She will be out of the hospital tomorrow. I have been staying with her and helping her get in and out of bed. She had a C section.
