Happy Thanksgiving!  I'm thankful for the dry, moderate weather this morning and for good health and for family and food.  I like the feeling I get after a good run.  Today's run, as always, ended going uphill for the last mile.  (If I don't take that particular route, I don't get a temperature reading, which was 39 today.)  I had a pretty strong head wind during the last mile that slowed me down to an 8:45 pace.  Overall, I ran 7.31 miles in 1:02:43 for an average pace of 8:33/mile.  The first 7 miles took 59:58.  So,I'll call that 7mph.

Had some knee issues after Thursday's run.  Did some physical therapy on Friday and I decided to risk another run today.  So far, so good and I'm glad I ran.  10.18 miles took 1:27:45, for an average pace of 8:37/mile.  First 7 miles took one hour and 2 minutes.  Maximum speed was 5:55 in mile 2.  Not sure if I've ever had that fast of a pace.
