Happy Thanksgiving!  It was rainy and foggy morning in Baltimore.  However, the temperature was in the high 40s; therefore, perfect weather for running.  Shortly after waking up, I got out the door and ran from Yolando Road down to Lake Street, to Montebello Lake Park and took one lap around the park before heading up through Clifton Park.  Once on the other side of Clifton Park, I ran by Woodstock Field then down to Herring Run Park.  I discovered that this park has a really neat running trail (plus, lots a mud on a rainy day like today) that spans quite a few blocks of city; as a result, this park truly lives up to its “run” title.  Not sure how long the Herring-Run-Park trail actually goes, I broke off my run at one of the street crossings and headed back up to Clifton Park.  Once at Clifton Park, I added on some extra miles before heading back to Yolando Road by running around the various trails of the park and golf course.  In total, I ran 13.5 miles at an easy pace and for the most part my left foot felt pretty good (i.e., just a little soreness).

For my non-running workout, it was just the basic day of 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups.

Just saw your race results from Sunday- congrats on a good race.

Do you always push the mileage this much right after a marathon? Don't want you to get injured.

Thanks Jon! I usually put in the mileage after a marathon; that is, after a week of tapering and finally completing the race, it feels great to just get out and run. I try to avoid injuries by just keeping the pace extremely slow with the aim of just enjoying the run.

Also, an awesome job with running the Grand Canyon (great write-up and pics)! Sounds like you are ready for the 100 miler in February.

Lastly, I cannot believe you were at the game last night. It was great to finally end our four-game skid. I'm thinking that we will need to win four out of our last five to make the playoffs (three likely wins with the Chiefs and Raiders; therefore, we need to somehow find a way to split our road games against the Colts and Eagles).

Go Broncos and Run on!

11 wins would definitely get us in the playoffs, though I think 10 is more likely. But that may get us in, too.

From Rossy on Tue, Dec 01, 2009 at 23:51:52 from 66.53.208.90

Jon, I agree, ten is more likely. Yes, with the Ravens defeating the Steelers and since they still have their rematch game in Pittsburgh, 11 wins will absolutely get our Broncos in. If the Chargers slip up, 11 wins might get us a first round by since we have the tiebreaker over the Patriots and Bengals. On the other hand, since we lost to both Ravens and Steelers, it might be difficult to get in with 10 wins. We’ll see what happens. Go Broncos!
