The Quantico Turkey Trot
This past weekend we were treated to a visitor: my friend The Other Sarah C. came down from Toronto to run along with me at the 23rd Annual Quantico Turkey Trot. We ran the 5-miler in an official time of 49:51, but I know for a fact that we didn't get over the start line until 35 seconds after the gun went off. We ran the whole way with an average time per mile of 9:51, which is a personal best for me. I can usually go no faster than 10 min/mile. We got to the halfway point in 26 minutes, which is not too shabby considering most of it was up a steady incline. :-) That means we ran the last 4 km in just over 23 minutes... which is anothe personal best for me. :-)
All in all, it was a great weekend, with good company, beautiful weather, and delicious food courtesy Capt. Mike. :-)

Hey - congrats on your personal best! I've never broken the 10 minute mile, myself - and the only time I actually hit it was in my marathons (the first few miles; not the last few ;-)); never duplicated that. Probably was the adreneline rush :-)

Glad to hear you did so well,Sarah. What is it they say in e-speak? :-)) We're very happy to hear your news!
Aunt Lila is now visiting in Trinidad and sends her best. She loved the shark and bake at the beach.Today we're going to the Hilton to have high tea - apparently it's a Trinidad tradition on Wednesdays.
Last night we went to see American Gangster.It was interesting to see Denzel Washington as a bad guy. We saw 3:10 to Yuma the week previously and Russell Crowe was excellent in both of those roles. Do you get much of a chance to go to the show?
Glad to hear that Mike is holding his end up in the kitchen department.What did he make for dinner?
We've got parent-teacher interviews tomorrow
Take care
Dee and Bob
