Comments:

The Turkey Trot was mostly a true trot for the first couple of miles. Thousands of people trying to make turns within the first half mile made for some good backups. And then there is always the people who start in front, but are walkers. No biggie. It was a fun run, not necessarily a race, so we just enjoyed it, and thought about how much more turkey we could eat later for getting up early to run on Thanksgiving! We did put in the effort in the end though and did some negative splitting to still use it as a somewhat race in preparation for the Vegas half

Sigh.. I miss the good ole Detroit Turkey trot. I've run it a few times, once I was completely hung over still drunk from the night before.

Good job.

My dad and I ran the 5k together. The first mile was much too slow b/c of all the people and the turns. We did it as fun run, gave us a good excuse to eat too much at dinner.
