Two and a half mile warm up around the neighborhood and then 4X180 meter hill, with about 600 meter jog back to start of the hill.  Nice little loop around the block with a sweet incline on the back side.  One of my routine workouts when I can't quite squeeze in a trip to the track.

Little under 3 miles easy around the neighborhood and then 4X100ish striders.  Signed up for the 5K Turkey Trot tomorrow, but might do the 10K easy with 5,000 of my closest friends.  A month ago I had visions of sub 19 at Turkey Trot, but then... excuses excuses.  Travis may run with me, so I might shoot for sub 20 in the 5 if I don't decide to just casually run the 10.  Inlaws plus a few coming in for the next few days, but its back to serious consistent training starting on Sunday.

Hey Rob - had to bundle up this morning for my run in the 52 degree fog - brrrrrrrrrrrr

Biggest road race ever for Tallahassee this morning - 5,300 runners across the 1 mi/5K/10K/15K offerings - a really nice reunion/race day for all.  No warm-up at all, over a minute to get to the start line, and weaving through strollers and puppy dogs for first half mile - nice to just kinda visit during the first half of a race.  Dropped the second two miles to right at 6:30 and finished up under 22, so it was a good day.  The wife, the brother-in-law, daughter and son all ran and we saw pretty much everyone we know in town.

Turkey dinner is well settled and pie is on its way.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Easy 4 around the neighborhood after watching 'bama collapse - bummer. Trying to limit myself to 4 pieces of pie per day for the next couple days, but somebody's gotta eat it, right?

Figured I better get the run out of the way BEFORE football today, since 'bama lost yesterday and I hadn't run yet.  Don't want the 'noles suffering the same fate.  Daughter child is at the game with a bunch of FSU fans - she is discretely sporting the orange and blue though.

Ran the overstreet figure 8 plus north loop - a bit under 8 per mile easy.
