Turkey Trot 5k

Nice course in Johnson City. Pretty consistent mild rolling hills. No really long or steep hills so it was a pretty good consistent run. I think starting out a little slower helped me keep pace, and I even had enough to sprint by like 4 or 5 people in the last .1 miles. Still got a ways to go before I hit those 27s. ;-) We did almost get a PR though which was really surprising! (only 13 seconds off)

FSU Cares 5k

Basically a 5k around campus, so mildly hilly, but nothing to extreme. Keith has been having shin splints so he took it easy and stayed back with me. Woke up with a little nausea so I wasn't expecting much. Keith kicked my ass and we kept about 9 minute mile pace for the first two miles, but at about the 4k mark I just hit a wall. My stomach felt bad and I got a side stitch. Managed to still do alright, but I also haven't been training near as much as I should have. I've been nursing my calf issue since it started acting up again and I was really stoked it didn't bother me at all today. All-in-all a pretty good run given the circumstances.

Christmas Connection 5k

My first 5k in Tally! Since mom isn't down here she ran one up in bristol so we could still be running together in spirit. :-) It was upper 40s low 50s so a little brisk at the start, but the course wasn't too bad. Pretty flat at first then continually more and more hilly until the last mile was pretty up and down. I was going to be really stoked if I could keep 10 minute mile pace so I was pretty stoked with my time. Kinda funny that mom and I still got about the same time even though we ran separately.
