Running the Turkey Trot 5 miler

Did a 3 and 3.5 mile road run on Monday and Wednesday at a pretty good pace.  Took the Lu with me for 1.25 miles of it on Wednesday.  Did a short run with some speed work on Friday - 2.25 miles using the treadmill.
Sunday race:  It was about 30-35 degrees with a wind-chill - a bit cooler than they said.  I ended up doing the 5 in 45:07 - just short of 9 minute miles.  So I kept about a 6.6 mph pace for the course - best time so far!
It was a really nice race.  Only 25 dollars, maybe about 200 people.  There was lots of food (pizza, fruit, muffins, donuts) and drinks afterwards in addition to a free 15 minute massage!
