Ran the Turkey Trot course w/my 2 oldest daughter and then went almost another 6 miles more- ended up running 11.75 miles.  The girls did an extra quarter to make it 12 even.  They're insane!

TM @ gym:  2-mile warm-up, 1-progressive mile down to 5:52 pace, held 5:52 for 1-mile, sped to 5:39 for 2nd mile, took a quick breather, and completed a final mile @ 5:45 pace.  My TM times translate to 20-25 seconds slower on the road- still fast for me.

Gave my 2 oldest girls a solid workout today...began by a .5 mile warm-up and then running two 1-mile repeats on the road (6:17, 6:14)- the girls did 6:26/6:32 and 6:36/7flat, veered into the woods and did two 1/4 mile uphills (very steep), and then jogged for 1/2 mile before doing an 800 on a gravel path- 2:50/3flat/3:12.  Jogged the rest of the way home for 7.5 miles total.
