On a whim, the family decided to sign up for the local Thanksgiving morning 5k. A down and back on Superior street in downtown Duluth. No running for me as I am still nursing the hamstring, but I decided I could walk it.
It was a brisk morning but not too bad outside actually. We dressed appropriately of course. We saw a few people we knew and the announcer was a local comedian and avid athlete so it was quite entertaining waiting for the start.
The kid sprinted off and we saw her some time later just before the turnaround. Melissa and I were walking together and a nice pace. About half way through my hamstring started to tighten up so Melissa went ahead some, but never got out of sight of me. A friend from swimming had already finished and she came back through the crowd until she saw Melissa and walked with her.
I finished in 48:35. Not setting any records out there today, but it was good to get out. Melissa finished just ahead of me in 48:09, and Trinity in a "blazing" 46:59.
