Another typing day, 12 hours... Planned it differently though. Woke up and put in a solid 6 hours. Ate lunch and went for a long run then came back to put in a few more hours before dinner and bedtime with the family only to put another few hours in after they went done. By doing it this way it actually didn't feel too bad. Still a lot to go but another solid day of chipping away at the mountain... The run was cool, especially into the wind. Forecast said it was in the 30s.

Good miles considering the schedule and typing marathons. Maybe just run tomorrow :) Have a great Thanksgiving!

Hi Fritz, Seems like your running is going well. Have fun at CIM! I agree backing off on work would be nice. Good news is I enjoy it. Just wish I had more time for everything... Happy Thanksgiving and I look forward to reading the CIM race report.
