I've not been feeling well the last couple of days. I decided to see if running might put some zip back in my life. I think it helped. I ran some easy solo miles this morning (4.8 miles @ 8:41 pace) and quite enjoyed the brisk morning.

My left Achilles feels fine until about 4 miles into the run then starts hurting a little. It isn't getting any worse, but I don't dare push the pace or distance too much. I think I'll play it by ear and probably just continue with an easy running schedule through the holidays.

Tomorrow I'm planning to come home at noon and get a run in.

I skipped playing in a Turkey Bowl for the first time in many years, but I did manage to find time to sneak in my own personal Turkey Trot 5K, just a few easy miles.

With the kids out of school I was able to play basketball with my son Andrew and the old gang again this morning for some cross training. I had a great time and came away uninjured, except for a few small blisters.
