I ran my first 10k in January. I weighed in at 285 lb. and finished in 1 hour and 20 minutes. Today I ran another one. I've dropped 40 lbs and finished in 55:36. Feels awesome, almost like I'm an athlete again! Now bring on the turkey!

Congrats #s. Happy Thanksgiving.

My goal is to see how many beers I can drink today without offending inlaws

awesome numbers. Contrats.

Also, good luck freed.

lol, is there an over/under pool on that?

Felicidades numbers! We (wife and youngest son) ran a 4 mile this morning and wow was it cold. Still waiting for results but ~34 minutes for my wife and I and ~24 for my son.

I've ran 4 miles today and now I have to drive 200.

edit 33:52 was my time and my wife was a second faster. I would not have wanted to or even been able to run a 10K. 4 miles was 3 too many.

The hard part of turkey trots is freezing your arse off until they start. And there was a seroius speedwalker that always did the Quincy one. The goal was to beat the walker...

I'm the big, hairy, devilishly handsome white guy

Jim, I love to run distance, I feel like I'm dying for two miles but then after that, it's the most stress free I am at any time. Just peaceful

The race started at 8:15 and I was parking the car about 4 blocks away from the start at 8:05. We sprinted to the port of potties, then sprinted to the start line, and off we went. Not much waiting.

Numbers ... please say you passed 440. Please.

yeah, 440 went down, was coming up on the outside to pass there lol.

By the way, your son's time, he's a beast

, I typically warm up by running 15+ minutes. The concept of warming up was foreign to me a few years ago...what a waste of energy I thought. Now it makes more sense to get the blood flowing a bit, so at the real start of a run I am more relaxed.

Turkey trots usually are crowded and have tougher logistics for dumping a layer of clothes a few minutes before start. And then they play the natl anthem.
