AM - Turned out to be a nice day for a run--no wind, slightly overcast, about 41*. Only thing I didn't care for was the 300' climb from mile 2 to mile 4. It's not a lot, but it's steady, and you can feel it. Well, at least I can feel it. It was the slowest 10K for me this year, and I attribute that to either (a) It was just a week after racing 4 legs at Ragnar LV, (b) It was uphill for the middle miles, or (c) I'm getting older. Not really sure which I want it to be. Kinda hope it's (a), but I'm afraid it's (c). Thank heavens for age groups

PM - 3 mile easy run with the running store group as they tried vendor-supplied Pearl Izumi's

Way to go BroPro.....what a great showing at the turkey day race....congrats on the AG 1st place win!!!!! Hey, welcome to the Fast Runner Blog. Looks like Cougar is going to shut the Forum Flyers blog down due to inactivity.

Teena--If only! The other day, someone asked me what is the best running advice I can give someone. My answer was "Don't get old". But, thanks. You've always been a supporter, and I do appreciate it.

BroTom--Thanks! Sorry to hear about the FF. It was a good run while it lasted, eh?
