    Still at work, but I kind of feel like I am not allowed to complain about it yet.  We're at 10 hours now but I think complaining requires at least a 12 hour work day.

     

    I feel that I can complain about work as soon as I show up in the morning.

      Lol just when I thought I had settled on attire for Thursday I checked the forecast again - 17F with 20 mph winds  I think I might err on the side of being too warm. Gloves and hat for sure, club singlet is a definite, just have to decide on capris or shorts and arm warmers or LS under singlet. And of course the extra layers on top to warm up.

       

      I first read that as minus 17.

         I feel like your avatar is not dressed for the season

         

        Huge sigh. It's a valid point...although I would dress like that for all but the most coldest temps. lol

              I think that's a windchill of around zero. I'm bundling the hell up for that thing. I guess actually similar to the race I was talking about earlier, so there is precedent. I don't recall at any point feeling too warm with 3 layers.

                We are going to Eugene for Thanksgiving which we did last year. I checked again and it still blows my mind that they have a Turkey Trot where you can choose between a 2-mile and 4-mile race. WTF. Can you please split the difference and have a race distance I care about?

                 

                MTA: there is a normal 5k in nearby Springfield. I checked last year's results, here were the finishing times for the top 3 M50-54: 16:15, 18:03, 18:23.

                      Our turkey day run has a 2 mile and 10K. I wish they could just have a 5K like normal turkey runs

                          According to RunningintheUSA.com, within 50 miles of Seattle there are 21 races on Thanksgiving Day, and 20 of them include a 5k.
