AM - 5 miles on the trail with Dan and the dogs.  We ventured into the backwoods section - which turned out to be a poor decision.  Way too many thorn bushes across much of the trail, with lots of debris and logs navigate whilst untangling gloves and shirts from the thorny brambles in the shadowy daybreak dimness.   Cuts and scratches on arms legs and even face and ears was enough to satisfy my curiosity for the next several months.

AM - 5.5 miles with Dan and the dogs from his house on the horse farm trail roads - windy, drizzly and a little chilly.  Lots of starts and stops with the dogs today.   Heading up to NYC to be with Delaney for the Thanksgiving Holiday later today.

AM.  7 miles from Delaney's apt in Brooklyn across the East River on the Williamsburg bridge and then down to the Brooklyn Bridge along the River Greenway.  Never crossed those bridges on a run before, so it was a bit of an adventure run.  Weather was rainy overnight so the roads were wet and it was windy and I have been a bit stiff and achy from the statin - will give it another few days to see if I can get used to it - so the sights and views were cool, the run was not itself did not feel all that great.

AM - 6.25 or so miles from Delaney's apartment in Brooklyn down to the Manhattan Bridge (instead of all the way to the Brooklyn Bridge) and up through Chinatown and back on the Williamsburg Bridge.  Better running conditions than the last bridges run.  The New Balane shoes continue to cause odd blisters around the ankle collar in different places.  Had a nice Thanksgiving yesterday - went to the parade and had a great dinner at Delaney's apt with a few of her friends - great conversation and interesting people.   Head home tomorrow.

AM - 3 miles early from Delaney's apt in Brooklyn before heading to the airport.  Much colder today - below freezing.    We had such a nice stay.
