early PM treadmill run at the gym.  Watching the Rams beat the Bears  and my fantasy team suck it up.

1% incline for WU at 7-7.5mph - about 15-20 min.  then into 10min. segments cutdowon from 8.5mph.   up 0.5mph every 10 minutes up through 10.5 mph.

10.5mph was in the LT zone.  Everything right up to there was upper end AT.

7.92 mi. cutdown - 50 min.

15 minutes of core and legs after. 

Feeling a lot more solid today.

We're down in LExington, KY through Thanksgiving.  Nice to see family and friends, but pretty tiring and tough on the diet. 

AM: 4xloops around Tiff's parents house: 10k at about 7:45 pace.  Picked it up throughout the run.  Its cold, but legs are feeling better every day now.

PM: easy 4mi. on the Legacy trail w/ 4 or 5 strides - about 7:15 avg. pace.  Very cold outside still.  5k tomorrow.

AM: 5k Race in Keeneland Racetrack (grounds and roads surrounding the race track).  Big race - 2400 people registered.  Hilly course and very cold this morning.  I found myself laboring with the pace after going through 1 mile in 5:35.  I really struggle up a quarter mile uphill and run a 6:15 mile 2.  Yikes.  I rallied a little bit for a 5:52 mile 3 and decent kick to pass a guy in last 0.11 - 0:40.  Still, I was thinking that I would be about a minute faster than this time today...

5k - 18:25

PM: House to Jay C in Seymour.  This course, again is CR 100 most of the way, SR 11 for about 4 miles, and only about 7 scary blind curves/narrow spots.  The bridge at around mile 16 of this run with barely enough room for 2-waytraffic for cars, (much less runners) will henceforth be referred to as Da Bridge.  Sprinted across Da Bridge and didn't get hit by any cars, or have anybody honk and try to scare me (as usually happens).  First Long Run since the marathon.  Pace felt fine in the mid 7's even after a terrible 5k race yesterday, so that's encouraging.

19.11 mi. - 2:25:20 (7:36 avg.) - first mile split was 8:00.00, but felt like at least 8:00.01
