Monday - Rest
Tuesday - Rest
Had not planned on taking this day off. Not motivated.
Wednesday - Ran 2 miles
I am running Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving so I did a short easy 2 mile road in preparation for tomorrow and to figure out what to wear. Weather tomorrow is supposed to be the same as today...and then rains this weekend.
Thursday - Turkey Trot 5k 24:08 - PR!!
The weather was perfect for the race. It was pretty cool out in the morning, but manageable. I wore a long sleeve t-shirt, running tights, knit hat, and gloves and I was fine. I started out trying to keep up with these fast people near the front, but they took off. I was able to maintain my pace. Only two or three women passed me. By Mile #2 I was starting to feel that nausea feeling I got when I ran Hope for Health. I didn't have to stop and throw up, but I was pushing myself extremely hard. I had to back down a little bit and then I felt better. I was very thrilled to see I beat my personal record by 5 seconds and I placed second in my age category. Because the race company was having computer glitches, they couldn't figure out the winners. I didn't know I placed second until a couple hours later on the race website. I thought I placed and waited forever, but they never fixed it. So they gave our pies away to random people. We were told we would get an e-mail with a free pie coupon, but I haven't received it yet. Oh well. Nothing I can do about it.
Friday & Saturday
The last couple days we've been enjoying some fabulous much needed family time. It's been so wonderful. Rob & I have also been staying up past midnight and sleeping in...and not eating terrible...but not eating great. I know it's not going to last. I plan on running Monday morning.
