The Tuesday 9

Today's Run: 9.01 miles through Bath (work)
Time finished: 1 hour, 8 minutes, 26 seconds (7 minutes, 36 seconds per mile)
Type of run: easy - moderate effort
Miles this week: 14.01

It's definitely good to see my steps with a bit more speed this week. Normally I've been averaging a 7:45-8:00 per mile pace in my regular runs. Energy and a new padding in my crumbling running shoes have certainly helped me this week - that is if they haven't been the cause of it. Combine this witht he 7:20 per mile pace I had on Monday and things are looking pretty decent for the Turkey run.

For those who don't know, I am running the 4-miler in Portland on Thanksgiving morning. (details here) This will be my first run on Thanksgiving Day. I am aiming to get as close to a 6:30 per mile pace; this run will be a good indicator of how well my speed is holding up. This run will also be a good way to help get the metabolism going for the turkey, too. It'll be a hard day to resist food.

(Also, this is an abnormally late post for me but I wanted to make sure I got it out. There are just some things I have to get done before bed, you know?)
