Carlsbad/Oceanside CA Joggers: Oceanside Pier Turkey Trot

ccmccoy09

I am hoping to run the Oceanside Pier Turkey Trot this year and I'm SO excited for my first 5k. Unfortunately, my friends are either out of town that day or the kind of people who hate running.

I don't mind doing it alone, but it would be more fun with other people. I'd love to get a group of slow jogging (like, 5.5 mph) guys and gals together to trot the 5k. I would especially love it if people would be into costuming up or something else silly, but no pressure.

Maybe we could train together too. I run now on the Carlsbad boardwalk.

I want to do it. I have a sore leg right now, but if I can get it to cooperate I'll be there.

I'm training for the Carlsbad half marathon in January.

You should do it! I hope your leg cooperates. How do you feel about wearing a tutu? (Just kidding.)

I ran 2.5 this morning. I usually run in the afternoon and I found it a lot harder to warm up and get to my happy running place this morning. I also wore out quicker, but it may have been because I was on a treadmill. I'm going to try alternating morning gym jogging with afternoon outside jogging. It gets a lot harder to fit an outside run in when I leave for work before the sun comes up.
