This year was the second year that my family took part in Sacramento's annual Turkey Trot, Run to Feed the Hungry! This year was the 20th anniversary of the race, the proceeds of which go to the Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services.
Family and friends gathered at our house bright and early, bundled up, and took some pictures before the run in our matching race t-shirts.
My goal this year was to do the 10K run in less than an hour. Aaaaaaaaaand... I did!
Results:
Time: 58:57
Pace: 9:30/mile
Overall in the 10K, I was 1,192nd out of 2,330 participants - and 418th of 1,128 women, and 81st of 188 women from 25-29!
It was also awesome to run with family, including my mom's goddaughter Kate, who has been increasing her running mileage a lot lately! She and her husband, Conor, both finished the 10K in under an hour as well! I missed my sister, who had to stay at school for law school finals, but I'm hoping next year (like last year) we will do the race together.
Being silly after the race - we were sad Anne was not there.
Although it was crowded and the starting line was insane, the event is such an awesome one that hopefully we'll continue to do it each year!
