Ran the Turkey Trot route this morning, three steep grades were a killer but I was able to finish it under 24 minutes at a 7:51 pace!   Hopefully I can keep that for Thurs. morning, I'll have another test run on Tues. morning.  Beautiful 48 degrees when I left, warmed up to 52 - my favorite temps to run in! 

My hips are a little sore from convertng from the TM to outside running, my knee is a little twingy too so I'm back on ipubrofin for a few days...

Power walked to stretch out my legs to the store - walked back with potatoes and other heavy stuff, I think my arms a little longer than when I started - LOL!

Beautiful morning sharing a 58 degree temp with hundreds of runners.  The race here has gotten so large, this is the first year we received running chips which makes it so much easier to track time.  I was really hoping to place in my age group (40-49) and was happy with my 3rd place trophy which we used as our centerpiece for our Thanksgiving feast today. 

The race was hard for only 3 miles (mostly because I put more pressure on myself than longer runs) with three steep inclines and I forgot to chew gum which makes me really thirsty so I stopped for water which I would normally not do for only a 3-mile run. 

Favorite part of the race was that my hubby was waiting for me at the finish line!  I usually run this race and then get back home before my family even knows I'm gone!  LOL...

We enjoyed the town's parade afterwards and a houseful of family for the weekend!
