Congrats on your awesome race, Brandon! A 4 minute PR? That’s awesome! It is truly a testament to how marathon training can improve your short game as well.
I had a similar experience running my own Turkey Trot 5 miler this past weekend. I ran an unexpectedly fast race, placing 5th in my AG with a 30:17 (a course PR for me), even though I thought my legs were shot after PR’ing in the Philly half the previous weekend.
Anyway, congrats also to your wife and extended family who ran. It’s always nice to be able to share the roads with loved ones and run a race together before sitting down for the big turkey dinner!
Nice work out there. All the best to you, Brandon. Take care!
So, have you picked out a new yet? Hmmm…on second thought, forget the name, have you picked out a jogging stroller yet? Haha…
Take care!
Just one quick thing. Since you asked, the time qualifications for NYCM is 2:55 in the Open Division (18-39) for the men and 3:23 for the women. You can also qualify via half-marathon times (Men – 1:23; Women – 1:37). My PRs are only about 1:30 slower than half marathon NYQ and 7:30 slower than full marathon NYQ…that’s why I know these things (Don’t hate me for it, please!)
Sorry I won’t be able to make your Newton clinic because it conflicts with work (but I did give you a shoutout on my latest blog post!)
Anyway, hope to see you on the sidelines this weekend! So freakin’ excited now! Take care!

Congrats on the PR and taking home some hardware. You’ve come a long way. Keep it up!
Wow, congrats on the speedy time! You’re now officially faster than I have ever been.
By the way, I was sore on Monday and Tuesday, but pretty well recovered by Wednesday and started working out again on Friday. I don’t want to do what I did last year and slack off to the point where I lose a lot of fitness – I’m looking forward to working in more cycling and swimming during the colder weather.
