PM - 9 pretty solid miles on the treadmill after work.  Been feeling a bit weak and fatigued - took some more iron supplements and they seem to have taken hold finally.  Getting routine labs this week anyway - will be interested to see what they reveal if anything.

PM - 3 easy miles in advance of tomorrow's Turkey Trot races.  I won't actually be racing, but will be running with my daughters and nephew in a 5k and then will stick around and do the 10k. Chilly temps are expected too.  Always a nice way to begin the turkey day.

Enjoyable morning -- quite cold for Florida with wind chills in the low 30's.  I joined my daughters and nephew in the first race, a 5k, where we jogged/ran together.  Only Bradlea who was coming off of a cold had a little trouble toward the end.  Really nice way to start the day.  Saw lots of familiar faces.  

Then, they all departed and I hung around for the 10k which started at 8:45 - the last of 4 races.  Plan was just to run to feel (not race), in fact my Garmin ran out of battery in the 5k so I only had my basic back up to keep track of my splits.  Was pleased to run this at an aerobic pace slightly slower than my marathon race pace earlier this year.  I think half of my miles were low 6:50's and half were slightly over 7 min pace.  Coming off of surgery at the end of August - I did not want to push the envelope - and so, this was a good effort, where I was controlled, and probably could have notched off several more miles at that same pace.

Happy with my progress - even happier to have no pain or limitations (besides my overall fitness).

AM - 4 easy shakeout miles this morning.  No soreness or fatigue (did not expect any since I ran aerobicly yesterday). Will get a second run in later today if the timing works out.

PM - so I did not get a second run in yesterday - family still in town and so those obligations prevailed.  Was able to get in a decent run today of 12 miles.
