I am feeling back in the swing of things after a 14-miler this morning….my longest run since the marathon, which seems like years ago but was only early last month.

I figured I better ramp up my mileage this morning due to the major damage I’m going to do later today at the Thanksgiving feast!

This morning I ran for just the third time in the past two weeks.  I have been giving my overused body a break and catching up on my sleep (although I must confess to playing a lot of early-morning online poker games the past two weeks!).  Although I am still not feeling 100%, I have resumed my training this week and will try to log maybe 40-50 miles…..and burn off some of the Thanksgiving energy.

This was a team race and for whatever reason I never really got going.  It was a fun event, but my time was way slow….I think my slowest 5K of the year by far.  My team won, however, so that made up for the poor showing on my part.
