5 hours of sleep in 2 days means that coach wife intervened before I could make it out the door after work :). Rest day, good food, and an early bedtime are now the action items for tonight. Wiser and prettier she is ;).

I had a bunch of online friends do this one today for a Turkey tune up so I decided to do it too. Hit the gym tonight and hopped on the TM for this. 30 minutes easy warmup. Then 90 seconds at 10mph, 60 seconds at 11mph, 30 seconds at 12mph, with equal time recoveries at 9mph x4. After the last 12mph segment I went straight into 2:30 at 5:20 pace since that is ~goal for Thursday. EZ cool down. This was fun! Best of luck to everyone on Turkey day! 6:31

Ran this fun race last minute not feeling well but still enjoyed the morning with friends. I decided to give it a go and knew within the first mile that i wasn't able to go fast with my lungs the way they were. Anytime I went faster than 5:45 I sounded horrible. I stopped after the second mile to clear phlegm and was going to drop but I decided to just run it in, no quitting. It was fun and I won a pie. I am much faster than this :), legs are fine.

The best was to see Mike run so strong. It was awesome :). The group miles before and after were great too. So thankful to be able to run and do so with great friends and people. Happy Thanksgiving!
