Another day, another weekend. I ran the Totten Trot 5k at Fort Totten. I had a really great time. The weather was great. Fort Totten is a beautiful place, it was like a nice college campus. The course was hard, and it was windy. I focused on my pace, pulling off a 21:56 (7:05/M), which put me second in my age group (15/122). My splits were about 7:07, 6:28, 6:38. Not bad, but I still need to utilize my $300 Nike super watch a little better.

That being said, the after party was pretty cool. We went into the Bayside Historical Society and they served massive amounts of food and treats. I never saw so many cakes and cookies in one place. Never. I managed to stay away, but I did put some cream cheese on my bagel :)
The next race I'm thinking of is the Thanksgiving Day 10K Turkey Trot Run at Long Beach. Yes, I said 10k. It is a no frills race, which I'm not to happy about. Since I will be in NJ for Thanksgiving, I'm thinking of going to a Turkey Trot there.

Cool! This is from the Gabe 5k. I ripped this from the Quantum Feet website.

Just got back from the St. Francis Prep Terrier 5k in memory of Vin Giammona '79. I couldn't have asked for a better day. The course was around where I normally train. I set a new PR of 21:20 (06:51/M)! Awesome. This was the most expensive race, $25 entrance fee, but they sure provided well. Not only did we get the standard t-shirt, we also got a medal and a full breakfast. Bacon, eggs, fruit, potatoes, bagels, oj, coffee, everything! I got a SFP sweatshirt for coming in first in the 19-29 age group. While they have changed the cafeteria food choices, it pretty much is exactly the same. Those old TV's that displayed the club events are still there! I looked at the table where I used to sit and "whoa" came to mind. Bro. Rob said, "come in, there is food," and I panicked and tried to remember the steps needed to delete games from my TI-82.
Next, hopefully, will be the Fort Totten 5k.

Here are the official scores.
