Did the Go!bbler Trot in Hillcrest/theHeights this morning, but it wasn't easy. First, I found myself at sub-9 pace on the paved portions, which I was feeling after yesterday's mile repeats. Second, there was a mile or so of trails off Ozark and in Allsopp Park and I was not ready for those. I just hoped I didn't break an ankle, or my face, on the rocks and roots. Managed not to do either, so I guess I'm OK. Worked up a nice sweat as I had too many layers on the upper body, even for temps in the high 20s. I was amazed at how many people showed up. I guessed 500 and that might be on the low side. Gary said there were runners from 22 states (comment on the Arkansas economy; all those people left home to get real jobs and came back for Thanksgiving with the folks?). Anyway, on to Memphis now. Everything will be easy except for dress rehearsal Tuesday and maybe a hard burst Friday to start the carbloading.
