I ran the Turkey Swamp 25k this past Sunday. I credit ShoreTurtle - even though this race is only about 25 minutes from my house, it did not occur to me to sign up for it until I read about it on his blog, and it fit in perfectly for my marathon training. I ran most of the race with ShoreTurtle and Hurley, which was a huge boost and a nice change from the solo long run schedule I have been keeping lately. Turkey Swamp has events of 50k, 20 mile, 25k and 10 mile. This race is too close to not consider running the 50k at some point - maybe I'll think about taking a shot at it next year. My time for the 25k was 2:35:40.

Nice job! Sorry I couldn't be there to enjoy the rain & humidity with you and the boys!
Ya gotta love it when a race fits in with training. I so want to just do a 50K at some point to have the ability to say I did an ultra. GO for it next year.
Hi Paul. It was nice running with you too. Congratulations on a great race! I hope you can make it to Clayton sometime and join us for a trail run.
I did the Turkey Swamp twice for the last couple years. I had too many spills and had problem dealing with the monotony of the race. Impressive timing of yours. If you are up for 50K next year, let me know.

Good job running!
Woo! Great job on the 25k!
Thanks for the well wishes. Don't worry, I'll be there, just not running it. I'll be cheering on J and reading all about everyone's training with a jealous tear in my eye! :)
Way to shake it up; it's nice not to have to worry about pace, place, etc. Cheers, ESG
