I hope everyone has Happy Holidays! Let's not gain weight - Let's gain fitness!
It was always my tradition to do a Long" run on Thanksgiving morning, Christmas eve morning, and New Years eve morning. I guess it was to pay for the extra eating and drinking. During my ultra years it was at least 50k.
My past definition of "Long" was limited mostly by the amount of time I had those mornings. This year it will be limited by my fitness level.
Tomorrow morning I am hoping to get 10+ miles - There will be some walk breaks.
Anyone else ?
Long dead ... But my stench lingers !
I'm signed up for a 10K turkey trot but I fell and hurt my chest today (don't ask). I've already paid my $50 so I'm going. I'm just gonna try to jog it but I'll do the course twice.
Sorry for the fall ... Hope it was a good day running.
I did 15 on the TM at the YMCA - It was about = to the efforts 10 years ago that would be 30+ on Turkey day. But I am happy with what I got today.

Monkey messed me up pretty well so I'm just walking this week, hope to make it out for a little jog on Saturday and Sunday.

Hey all. Been a minute. Also had a fall and cracked a couple of ribs before Thanksgiving. Kept me out of Monkey which was sad.
Back at it a bit now training for a spring marathon.
Merry Christmas everyone.
