Met Becca and Tee at Murray Park for a fartlek workout. We kept it fairly short since none of us have been doing a lot of interval work. 2.7 mile warm up followed by 5-4-3-2-1 minutes with 3-2-2-1 recovery. 2mile cooldown.

Turkey Trot on Thursday! Should be fun!

Thanksgiving tradition. I ran it as a tempo run this year since I'm just easing back into consistent training. I have run with my BIL, Brady the last few years. This year Teren and Cole joined us.

This course is freaking hard. It's very hilly. I forgot how tough it was until about 400 meters in. I started kind of slowly and worked to pick people off throughout the race. My goal was under 19 minutes. I snuck under with an 18:48. I was pleased until I found out that I got smoked by two minutes by Grayson Murphy. (She just placed 8th at the NCAA's.) But, decent effort.

Teren took second. Cole won his age group and ran a two minute pr. His cross country training is paying off.We all won a Costco pumpkin pie . . .sooooo much pie.

4mile cooldown with Bill Cobler.

Yay! First time I have felt good on a longer run in awhile. I'm happy with the last few weeks of building. I'm happy to hit 60 this week. I'm headed in the right direction.

15 miles with Tee and Becca out 500 E to Liberty Park and back.7:10 average.
