Midweek Run - 6.2 miles

Today was my first run after my FAIL on Saturday. It went really well, in fact I had the best time I've had on any of my 6-mile midweek runs. Not as fast as the turkey trot, of course, but I can't complain.

I even had a couple setbacks that didn't work too much against me. Traffic was uncooperative, I had to stop a couple times before crossing streets. Also in Mile 5 I had to stop so I could wipe the sweat out of my eyes. With both of those, I still managed to get my best midweek time.

Tomorrow it's back to the gym. I'll also try to fit in a couple miles on the treadmill to see how the newly-calibrated Forerunner works out.

Turkey Trot Pictures!

The "official" Turkey Trot pictures are now online, and once again, I look like I'm dying. What's the deal with that, do you guys have this problem as well? Seriously.



There were actually a few decent pictures, one of which I'm using as an avatar. But man, I was making some nasty faces.

The rest of the pictures (of me and all three of my kids) are here.
