113th Annual Turkey Trot--The Official Results

So the results are in...So are the pictures

My official finish time..(drum roll please...) was 50:28..which means I ran a 10:10 mile!


Rachel and I just after our big finish together..remember she was suffering with knee problems. Notice the runners behind me to my right..finishing up the race.

Here is how my run broke down:
Over all finishing place: 4,732 (out of about 10,000 runners)
Place according to sex: 1, 623
Place according to age: 279 (out of 647 in the 25-29 age group.) I know NOT all that impressive when you look at it this way.

The four of us after the race..aren't we a bunch of gorgeous girls? we were freezing by this time!


This cute Veteran carried the flag around

People have fun with this race..this was a sleigh made out of shopping carts. If I only had my camera during the run so you could see the literal 'sea' of people ahead of us and behind us..very cool!

and of course..couldn't have a YMCA race without the Village People..that guy had to be so cold!


I am pretty happy with my time. But I do have to say I got beat by some little old ladies..I was just checking the age group winners..a 71 year old lady finished in 44 minutes! Wow! Maybe when I am her age I will be finishing that fast! That is pretty awesome!

Congrats on the time! That really is great especially with the cold and you just getting over a cold. I can't wait to get this baby out and start running again.
I can't believe how grown up your kids are! So cute!

When you posted that video of the Turkey Trot I thought for sure you were one of those girls dressed as 'Santa's Helpers' LOL. Too funny. That looks like such a fun race to run. One day you and I will run a race together....one day....

Lex - I am so WAY impressed with you girl! VERY speedy. And you look absolutely FAB.

I'm so excited about you coming into Utah!! I really REALLY hope you guys'll have a time for a little get together of our own. Even treats and lounging chit-chat would be awesome. :)

Hope to see you soon!
