Turkey fueled trail run -- Fri. November 23

Couldn't quite make it out Wednesday evening (worked late, it was cold, and I needed sleep somehow), but today decided to run off yesterday's feast and the long (7 hrs) time in the car yesterday. Chilly wind, but clear and not to cold. Right off GeoHannum took to trails (passing two bowhunters early on!) and followed to exit onto Hamilton, then to Bay and Allen, up to 9 and down to the trail entry past Tilton's; up that hilly trail (no puff at all, it seems -- but it was good to at least attempt a hill), then with the trail back to Allen, turn left and over to 202, to go right and VFW home. Stop clock at the store:

Time: 43:15
Distance: 5.59 miles
Speed: 7.8 mph

Comments: feeling slow, even for a trail run. The turkey trot this year will be a tough ten miles, for sure. But that's the last run of the season, then into training mode with the snowstorms. Hopefully I'll be able to regain a bit of condition -- and I need some new shoes, probably. Especially if I'm really going to try a marathon next year (maybe). . .
