It was gross out so I ran on the mill. 30 minutes and I covered about 3.8 miles. It was faster than I wanted, I wanted to run at 8:30 min/mile but accidentally set it at 8 min/mile. I guess it's good I didn't notice, must mean I'm more in shape. I have the Buffalo Turkey Trot 8k coming up on Thanksgiving. It's probably the first race I've been even moderately trained in the past 4 years. I ran it in 2008 in a loagy 42 minutes at the height of my out-of-shape-ness so this year I'm aiming for 35ish which I think is perfectly doable considering I have 6 weeks.
I like the Buffalo Turkey Trot, it's big (~8-10k runners) and is the oldest consecutively run road race in America. This year will 115 years without a year off.
