Yes, my blog post about the turkey trot didn't have any "feeling" about the event, but since I wasn't there it wouldn't have made sense for me to try to describe it. The main point of the post was to direct runners to the website with race results.
I *was*, however, at the Brooklyn Marathon, and wrote a post that (I hope) conveyed my appreciation for the event.
Spending Thanksgiving with out of town family prevents me from running the Prospect Park turkey trot, though I did run it a few times when NYRR sponsored it (back in the last century).
Dave B, I did not mean to offend.
No offense taken (though I realize my comment could have appeared otherwise; it's often hard to convey things in text without resorting to smileys, which I try to avoid). Congrats on another successful PP turkey trot; a few friends of mine do it every year & love it.
P.S. I applaud the courage of chickens who choose to wear undergarments. (If your name refers to humans wearing underwear made *from* chickens, however, that's another matter. Especially if said chickens are still alive.)
CU,
"Most detailed description of 5 miles..."
I'm honored. I know there was no feeling attached to the statement, but I can't help feeling like I was given a trophy of some sort!
Will definitely be back next year!
Cheers :)

My girlfriend and I had a great time at the trot -- our only complaint is that we couldn't find any water after the finish line.
Sorry Arun.
The Park Administrators were a little crazy about keeping the roadway clear after the finish. We had it a little further up the road than we wanted.
We will tweak the course for next year.
