Read Jon's report from the Grand Canyon this morning, so I couldn't help but feel inspired to run. This morning is one of those Pacific NW mornings I like -- a little damp but not rainy, with a mild temperature. I'm ok with this through February, even if my Vitamin D count gets a little low. I did the old 11th Street-Shore Drive loop and back, pretty easy pace and felt pretty loose and light. Saw four other runners out, which is a lot for this neighborhood. Maybe we're on to something. Good start to Thanksgiving week. 35:57

Absolutely great Thanksgiving morning run. Our club joined with a few others for a tradition that's five years old or so, and we had nearly 50 people together on the Clear Creek Trail this morning. Misty out, but not cold, and the company made up for the weather. Great run at a decent pace once I got going, I spent time running with about seven different people over the course. All sorts of ages and abilities (and even a few dogs and babies), it was just a great reminder of what kind of people are runners -- all people. We all hung around and drank coffee at Starbucks after the run, and started planning next year's runs that people want to do. What an inspiring way to start the day, that was the best birthday present I got.
