Several months ago, Mom set her eye on a goal. That goal was competing in her first 10k run. After setting the bar, Mom spent the following months progressively increasing her distance during her runs about our neighborhood.Finally, the culmination of all her hard training came about this past Saturday. Amid a field of 228 runners, and several good friends, Mom took part in the 37th Annual Turkey Trot in Newark.
In the end, having actually ran the entire course, Mom crossed the finish line in 54:08. That time was good enough to place her 106th overall and 6th in her age group (full results here). Amazing!
Mom, with friends Tracy (left) and Ellen (middle).Tracy placed 77th/3rd while Ellen placed 103th/2nd.
Congratulations, Ladies!
