It was pouring rain at 6:00am....luckily I was inside and pretty much had the place all to myself.  I ran 10.00 miles in an easier pace than yesterday.  Just recovery miles.

Go to the gym around 5:15am.  Ran 1 mile on TM.  Did a 1 hour Body Pump class and hit muscular failure with about 10 minutes to go in the class.  Great class though.  Then I ran another 9 miles on the TM.  Pretty wiped-out now.

Because it was Thanksgiving, the weights class was scheduled at 8:00am so I was able to finish my whole run first.  I was still really sore from the weights on Tuesday so I really needed to get it done today.

I ran 10.00 miles in a good clip with 1 tempo mile from 8-9.  Then I did the 1 hour Body Pump class and although it hurt a lot, it really helped loosen up the tightness from Tuesday.  My wife Sue and my daughter Jenny even joined me in the class (now they are stiff and sore).

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
