10K Turkey Run

I ran a 10k this morning and came in 2nd. place in my age group with a time of 47.23 I was very happy with the time and placing. This is a PR for me and to top it off, my friend came in third in same age group. A co-worker was also in the race and she took 2nd in her group as well. Not a bad day for a run; except for the wind, that SUCKED! I'm looking forward to running my second 1/2 marathon on Dec. 9th which happens to be one year to the date of my VSG surgery. I will keep everyone posted on that race. However, I know I'll get a finishing metal and not a placing metal. I'll leave that to the running experts.

Thanks Jenn. So, when can I expect you out there running with the rest of us runners? That's ok, you can be there in spirit.
