I ran this Wallingford Turkey Trot 5 Mile Race in 38:56 @ 7:47/mile.  This is 4 seconds faster per mile than last year and a PR for the course and distance.   Not a bad time given the 223 feet of elevation and my PR for the 5K distance is 7:43/mile.  Thinking I am due to PR for the 5K distance soon!

Of note, Marc Audet ran this race with me.  He ran about 65 seconds faster than me covering the distance in 37:53.  Congratulations on that time Marc!

A quick Easy 2 miler at 4:30 pm for the sake of consistency with getting in the scheduled miles.  I want to stay on target with the training schedule.

Congratulations on the PR Pat, you had good splits and finished pretty strong in the last mile.

The hill was a killer, we both lost about 30-40 seconds on the climb.

Comparing splits, we both ran fastest on mile 1, slowed down on the hill/mile 2, recovered on mile 3, had a faster mile 4, and lost a bit of steam on mile 5.

Strategically, we had similar reactions to the course.

For a PR in the 5K, I would recommend a flat course coming up in Hamden in December, Santa Scramble on the canal trail!

Again, well done today, keep up the good work!

Awesome PRE! Way to go!

Marc, thanks for those words. They mean a lot to me. I handled the course about the same way as you? Great compliment. And thanks for the 5K suggestion. I think I will do that run! I am wanting to PR big for the 5K and that may be the ticket!

Burt, "He's alive." Dang you are like missing in action forever. How have you been? I saw you posted the Ragnar report. I read that. Sorry to hear about those mishaps. Talk to you soon.

Thanks PRE. I can't seem to slay the injury monster.

Nice 5 mile race! Looks like you started aggressively, that's what I like to see! I think with some consistent speed work you'll definitely crush your 5K PR!
