Pre-race routine:

It was freezing and I was in shorts so my wife and I slowly jogged around Market Street for a few minutes to warm up.

Comments:

The beginning of the run was tight with over 5000 runners supposedly participating. The course was well marked and very well organized. Volunteers were many and this was a fun way to spend thanksgiving morning!

What would you do differently?:

Left the house a 1/2 hour later to stay warm and begin at the front of the pack.

Warm down:

The Egg & I pancakes and sausage -- yummy!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Narrow course and groups of slow people running side-by-side.

Event comments:

My wife and I both competed and we plan on making this an annual Thanksgiving event.
