Easy 3 miles on the trails this morning while Lisa walked the track with a friend.  She wants to run a couple miles this evening in the neighborhood, so I will probably get at least 2 more in later.  The whole fam is doing the Turkey Trot 5K on Thurs morning.  I figure I'll shoot for a bit under 20 minutes again to wrap up this year's racing - we'll see.

Sneaked into the front area at the start this year so that I didn't have to bob and weave for the first mile.  Worked out nicely as I hit the mile in 6:18.  Eased up a bit through the 2nd mile in 6:25, and ran 6:14 for the last to finish up at 19:40 - best time (on a certified course) in a couple years, so Thanksgiving started out nicely.

Travis and our # 4 runner paced a younger teamie to a PR in a bit under 21 minutes - good deal.  Cynda and Lisa also ran the 5K, so now we are primed for stuffing our bellies.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Charlotte NC - ran the complete Footlocker South Region course with the kids (three of our girls and Travis running the race) and then did a couple finishing 100s and worked with Travis on the ridiculous steep up and steep, turning downhill section at about 1.5 miles - big fun.

Charlotte NC, Footlocker South Region meet.  OK - this was an incredible experience for me - oh and Trav did well and had a great time too.  I'm definitely running the Open/Masters race next year.  Still in Charlotte and just on Lisa's laptop, so I can't post a pic of Travis grinning on the awards stand with his 22nd place medal and certificate.  He ran the Junior boys race and came through in 16:35, a much more satisfying result than last week.  After the first 4 or 5 boys, there was no more than 2 seconds between finishers all the way down to about 150th - 243 boys were in the race.  He said he felt like he was sprinting the entire first mile, but came through in a reasonable 5:09 in 50th or so. When I next caught up with him just after the 2-mile, he was in 32nd... top 30 receive medals.  I told him where he was and then I (and tons of other fans - this was major fun) sprinted to the next spot I sould see him, at about 600 to go.  He was in 26th with a firm trail around a lake to the finish line - very picturesque and I could watch the whole way.  He passed a few more boys down the line and got passed by one at the end - really fine racing in crowded conditions the whole way.  He was pleased and I was impressed - great way to end the season - whew - so glad he erased the bad taste of the state meet.  On to track!

Pretty sure the 2 miles estimated running is low - had to run to/from the jeep a couple times too and parking was a nightmare.
