Turkey Trot

If ever there was a day made for running, it was today. Low 40s, no wind, bright and sunny. Angela and I were in the Parkville Turkey Trot, along with about 2,600 other runners and walkers.
The goal for the race was to try to average 10 min. per mile, and we came close, finishing with an unofficial average of 10:14 per mile. We had to walk a couple of times so Angela could manage her asthma, so I think we would have averaged about 9:30 otherwise. We'll get the official results later in the day.
Despite the walking, this was a 5k PR for Angela by at least 6 min. Besides the fun of running with my granddaughter, the upside for me was no pain in the foot.
Mike came along and took several great pictures for us (thanks, buddy!). -- Rob
