Jogging over to Ithaca High School (we’re staying a few blocks away), warmup, and the jog back after.

Ithaca Turkey Trot. Predicted time run and all I knew about the course was that it was “around” 5.5 miles of mixed surface and included the trail I used to walk home from school (which is a PM#4-level effort that bolts straight up the fall line into Cayuga Heights). Put down 40, figuring it should run like a 10K. Didn’t go all out, but it was an honest effort.
Hanging around the activities room afterwards with nobody to talk to brought back all sorts of unwanted memories from 39 years ago; (believe it or not, I was even more asocial when I moved to Ithaca at 15 and knew none of my classmates). Missing by 92 seconds put me way out of the awards, so I didn’t stay for long.
