Tomorrow is thanksgiving. When did they start calling the day after "black Friday"?
I saw signs on the doors of 2 stores today that said they open at 4am Friday. HUHHHH??? Is that really necessary? FOUR AM??? The last few years it was 5am, now 4, how far can this go?
Tomorrow morning I will be running a turkey trot 5K at the gym. I have no idea how I will do in a 5K right now. I'm just going for the run! I will be 3.1 miles closer to 1200 miles for the year!!
I will be flying to Maryland in the afternoon to visit my sister for the weekend. It will be about 20 degrees warmer there so I plan to do alot of running!
Happy Thanksgiving to anyone who may happen to read this.

What does it take to recover from a marathon???
It has been 5 weeks now since I ran a marathon. It was my 3rd marathon and this was the sorest I've been after running one. I am still sore when I run.
In the weeks since the marathon I've had very low mileage, between 8 and 15 miles per week. Yesterday I ran 5.5 very slow miles, it was very difficult. Today I ran 4 and it went much better, I was running right about what my long run pace was during marathon training. Maybe I need to run consecutive days more!! I've also discovered that I weigh 5 lbs more than I did before I ran the marathon. YIKES, what happened????????
I have went back to strength training and spinning classes at the gym this past week. I will be travelling over Thanksgiving weekend and visiting my sister in Maryland just outside of Washington DC. She sent me links to the trails that she is going to send me off to run on!! (she knows me well, she wants to make sure I get plenty of running in because I will be staying in her house!!) I have 1180 miles for the year so far, I am determined to get 1200 by the end of the month.
The thought of Christmas shopping is making me ill. If I ignore Christmas will it go away?

I don't think I am blogger material!!
This is so funny!! I was reading the blog of someone in my training group and remembered that I once started a blog on here so I did some searching and found it then tried to log on but couldn't remember how to. I got on my old computer because I was quite sure I had checked the "remember me" box and sure enough I was able to get the log in info!! I guess I didn't do a very good job of blogging about my first marathon! Well, I did run it and I even finished but it was a disaster but I never once thought of never doing another one. Well, guess what!! I just ran my THIRD marathon 2 weeks ago!!!
Today I am tracking a friend who is running the NYC marathon. He's almost there!! This is the coolest tracking I've ever seen. It does the usual 5K, 10K, 15K, 20K, half, and 25K, then from mile 16 on it's every mile! I can figure out his mile splits! He had a bad mile at 23 but has come back but not quite the 8 min miles he ran up until then. (at mile 25) It's bringing back memories of 2 weeks ago, my last 3 miles were the worst! This is so cool! I've been watching it since mile 23. I was checking it every now and then and then I went for a run and came back and he was past mile 19. I took my shower and have been watching it since then. It's amazing how much time I can waste on something like this!!!!!
ok, my friend just finished!! Now I can get on with other things!! I have some errands to run. I am going to try to get back into doing this. I kept one when I was running my first half marathon and my family was reading it.
Maybe next time I will write about my last marathon.
