Ridgewood Turkey Trot 8k

As planned, I ran the Ridgewood Turkey Trot 8k on Thanksgiving morning. My time was not as good as last year, but wasn't far from PR'ing. I ran the whole time, in spite of my annoying knee. I saw several people I knew. I was thankful that it wasn't as cold as last year's race. They offered packet pick-up the day before, so I didn't have to bother with it that morning. They told us not to park at the shopping center (right by the starting line), so I parked farther out than last year. It was nice not to have to go back to the car to put up my stuff. This was my second time running this race. It's nice to burn off your turkey, or ham or mac and cheese...before you eat it! :)
