We hit the first mile in 5:54 which is my fastest mile in over a year. My legs felt extremely sore from a solid performance two days prior. I was running side by side with a fast woman, and she was pressing the pace. I found myself running entirely too fast during the first mile. With 700 people, the race start was crowded. After chatting with a few friends at the race start, we were off. It would have been easier for me to get to work if the race started earlier, but luckily I was working close by to the Haddon Township Turkey Trot. For such a big race, they had no photos…My head is in there somewhere (taken from Liz) My husband got to the race around 8:00 quickly signed up and were on our way for a warm up. At the Haddon Township Turkey Trot, there are normally over 700 people, and it’s organized and put together. It’s so well known even the infamous Mike Rossi signed up for it! (Note: I did not see him at all, not that I would recognize him). The Haddon Township Turkey Trot is the most well known in the area. Unlike a marathon, riding the pain train home in a 5k is a mile or maybe 2…not 10 miles.Before the race, I knew I was sore from the Medford race two days prior. In running terms, I took the race out faster than what my body was capable of and then rode the pain train home. In summary, it was the best of times and then the worst of times.
