Planning on making it to the starting line still drunk! Still the biggest party night of the year tonight! It's not a real turkey trot unless you're hungover/still drunk

One more day until my biggest fears are realized......not beating the guy dressed up like a turkey.....
It'll be a first since my first race in 1977.
Just can't quit though. Love the turkey day races and camaraderie.
And i'll keep telling myself that....1500 miles in training at age 61 and can't beat a guy dressed up like a turkey.
Camraderie, the feeling of an all out effort, the greatest sport in the world...Yeah, just keep that mantra going...ha
You guys stop. If I win, I get a free turkey. I am racing to feed my family, by definition that makes me a pro.
Great last minute tips in this thread: http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=6875142
For any you men who cannot break at least 14:30 in your 5k tomorrow, I just want to ask - what has larger breasts, your Thanksgiving Day turkey, or YOU?
Agreed. 2:39 marathoner here to help.
I am prepped, see photo:

ALSO: I am happy Verizon is doing the #Thanksgetting campaign. Thanksgiving is about getting, and consuming things. Finisher's Medals, GUs, beer, lots of gear. I'm sick of this "less" movement.

What hobby jogger blog did you pull that off of?

Huh? Actually, I've scrapped that. Here's my gear for tomorrow's Turkey Trot 5K:

I would like to see a visor and sun glasses in there. Exposing your eyes to the sun for all that time in a 5k could lead to retinal damage. Looks pretty good otherwise.
I actually like to fill my camelbak entirely with gels. It frees up my hips for my cell phone holster. You never know when the perfect mid-race selfie opportunity might arise!

I've placed 2nd every year in my 10k Turkey Trot for 5 years and always lose to a random college runner, who then gets the OA award and doubles on the AG award and I get nothing. Last year I chose to NOT run it, college guys didn't show, and then the winning time was like 36, so I was quite bitter. This year I can probably run a 33/34 but a bunch of new guys will probably show up and run 32
If I win it tomorrow I will no doubt shout the gobble gobble thing and finally retire from hobbyjogging
Here's a video of what happened when my dad yelled at me for not breaking 17 in last year's Trot 5K:
After I win the 5k in 12:47 dressed like everyone's least favorite part of the Thanksgiving Day meal (cranberry sauce), I am going to spring out from behind the finishing line and rochambeau any male under 40 who can't break at least 14:00.

I forgot to add...

Buuuuuuuuurp!
I plan to run 13:55 in trainers. I think EVERYONE will understand the significance of this.
Turkey day bump

ME!
The starbucks at my local grocery store was packed with people in their hobby jogger outfits, bibs still pinned to their shirts, and medals around their necks ordering their lardaccinos since they burned all those calories this morning.
