On thursday morning I ran the Buffalo Turkey Trot for the 13th time. I finished the five mile race in 39:10, which is my fastest time since 2015, and the second fastest of my 13 finishes on this course.

The weather for the race was not great, with a cold rain that left me bundled up running in a hoodie and gloves. Still I managed to have a fast per mile pace of 7:50 which is just a tad faster than my last run at the start of the month. I have been feeling very good about my pace in these shorter races at the end of the year.

My next race is the It’s a Wonderful Run 5k in Seneca Falls.
