8 mi loop with nat and cheri, nice easy pace but put some umph into it for the last mile (6:08). Legs finally starting to feel semi-back to normal ... temp dipped below 40 today which was not entirely prepared for, could have used an extra top layer. (I know all you northerner's are laughing but Im baby when it comes to the cold, especially since Im a native of sunny SG.)

Going to try to make it to the gym this afternoon  to get some weights in since Im only working a half day today (Yeahhhh), it will be nice to have 4 1/2 day break from scraping teeth:)  Tomorrow we are planning on our 4th annual 17 mi loop for Thanksgiving so anyone thats is in SG,  your more than welcome to join us.

6:08 is smoking! Are you running Painter's? If so I am in trouble! When the time gets closer to that race, we'll have to see who is doing it and if there is a pack who has similar race goals.

17 mile turkey trot?? WOW!! Thanks but I'll pass. Maybe 10-12 depending on how cold it is down here in Vegas. You can cry to me about the cold because I am a baby too. Grew up in St. George and have lived in Vegas for almost 10 year now. I am definately a desert rat at this point. I'd like to see the northerners train with us in the heat of the summer. Have a great Thanksgiving!!

Michelle,

I think I will probably run painters, I havent run it in the pass cuz it seems I always get a little sluggish after the holidays but its my goal to NOT this year. Yah and I think it will be the other way around..I will be in trouble! It will be fun to meet you in Jan though.

rdrunner,

Im glad I have someone to complain to about the cold! Have a great thanksgiving too.
