Good morning everyone! I had an easy 30 min (2-1/2mi) run this morning. Temps were 33 and slight breeze. Yesterday afternoon for my 45 min run (4mi) it was 10 degrees warmer but it was drizzling.

Joe, happy running AND happy Turkey day!

runjr, great pace! You'll find me in your wake.
I'm not sure yet how cold. When I started the C25K program last February I remember a couple of nasty days around 30 with strong northwesterly winds, but I think most of the real crumby days I was teaching myself to hate the treadmill. But back then I was only running every other day. Now I'm running everyday, and I'm telling myself it's going to be outside no matter what.

spicegeek, that's great news! We have more than just Turkey to be thankful for!

Cara, good run, take it slow and easy starting again. Ya don't want to overdo it!

Chuck, sounds like some bad issues, but I agree with Alex, it's best to get them taken care of sooner. Great run!

noob, my knees have been feeling better, although today they are a little more 'stiff' going down the stairs again. Go figure I took it easier on my run this morning...
I tried running with my dog, Coal, he's a black lab and I spend more time tripping over him and having to stop while he takes care of his business that it turns into a big pain.

Slave, I bought some 'Stabelicers' I think they're called. I haven't used them yet, but supposedly they'll keep me from slipping. I may need them tomorrow as we're supposed to get some snow tonight. Too bad about the shoulder, that's why I won't run with my lab anymore. Great 3.5 miles though!

Peg, Happy Anniversary!

NC Sunshine, Happy Birthday! Hope you find help with the foot issue.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone, Good runs everyone, and Good rest for those that need it!

I have to work tomorrow so I decided to have my own turkey trot- it's easy to come in first place when you are the only runner! I even PR'd- 3.2 miles in 39 min. And still no pain!
I have a job interview in 2 hrs so I will keep it short- not sure why they are interviewing the day before turkey day!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving all!
