This Thanksgiving morning, my daughter and I joined over 3,000 other runners in the Webster Turkey Trot, which is in its 47 year! It was our first year doing this — I ran the Four-Four (4.4 miles) and Ani ran the Two-Five (2.5 miles).
It was 18°F (the coldest Webster Turkey Trot and Thanksgiving ever here), but it honestly didn’t feel too bad. The heated tent that we were able to wait in beforehand and our many levels of gear helped for sure!
I finished with a time of 34:52 in the Four-Four, which put me at:
- 321 of 1546 overall
- 23 of 67 in male 40 to 44 age group, and
- 231 of 789 amongst all males
I’ll take that performance!
Ani had her best pace yet. 🎉

Next up for me is the Reindeer Run 5K in mid December!

Drumsticks! Hope you rewarded yourselves with actual turkey at some point. 😀

Very impressive! Well done both of you. 7:55 a mile is not to be sniffed at, especially on a cold day with drumsticks on your head!
