Turkey Trot and a new Ironman in Training

The Turkey Trot went better than expected. It took me eleven hours to drive from San Diego to Stockton on Wednesday. No fun... I didn't get much sleep and thought the run would hurt a little. We got to downtown Stockton and ran with all the other Turkey Trotters. My dad and I kept a 8:45 mile pace the whole time, which is pretty good for me. I didn't get tired and it actually felt good to run. I am expecting my half marathon next weekend will go better than Santa Barbara based on how I felt on the Turkey Trot. It was a 10k (6.1 miles)...not a long run but certainly not a walk in the park. The next couple days are off days for me solely because I am not in my element here in Stockton. Golf, food and wine for the rest of the day today.

Sooooo, my dad is the newest Ironman in Training. He has signed himself up for the California 70.3. I am pretty stoked. I now have another person to motivate me. Kristan told me that he will kick my ass. I think she is probably right.



I now have a new goal...to beat the old man in the race.
