2 days=0

Did 0 on Thursday how can one run out of time to do a run?  Got cought up in house things to do and went to the dog park for a fast run around for the gig, we had the palce to ourselves so she ran and sniffed till got to cold, she went to the gate time to leave.  Friday was a busy day at school not much work done party in classrooms for the Christmas break, I did meet with 3 1st graders to get some things finished up, just crashed rest of the day, was going to go for a night run but did dishes and other chores, time to read some then lights out for a early morning run, a test to see about keeping my backpack water from freezing.

Race

Was race 1 of the 5 races all at 10k for the next 3 months.  Started late due to large turnout.  Felt good during the race, 35 deg. windy and some snow.  Didn't hang around to see results, my watch did not start till mile 1, time for a new one? So thinking I got in at 1:12:00.  Pictures next post.

Before the FEAST

So the plan for today 11/23/11 short hill repeats at the local trail.  No deer hunting in the trail system so I can feel at ease in the woods. I'll post some pictures later.  Then its some house cleaning and catch up on yard work it will be +44 with sunshine and 50's on Thanksgiving and black Friday.  Have a turkey trot to run also on Thanksgiving a nice 5 mile, and then Packers maybe a bike ride and a easy mile or two run. Just had to post a picture of a mtn. bike race I did, 6hour time ride, hey I was in the lead for the start.
