Spectrum Academy Turkey Trot, after a week of not running. I won this race last year, and it's for a good cause, so I went back, even though I haven't felt like racing or running much in the last week. I forgot my watch and the clock was broken, not to mention that they don't post times, so I'm not entirely sure what my time was, given that several people timing it with phones said different things at the finish (I was told both 17:10 and 18:10). I also don't even know if the distance is correct. Last year, I ran 15:25 on an obviously very short course. Regardless, my lungs and throat felt TERRIBLE racing after not running for the past week, so it wasn't super enjoyable, but I won by 30 or 40 seconds after having 3 guys on me for half the race (made a big move at the turnaround and dropped them), and got a turkey, pair of running socks, and running hat. Also, I like that this race actually gave me my prizes, unlike Haunted Half, who promised me some pretty sweet prizes, told me to email to get them, and then never replied to my multiple inquiries.
