Happy Thanksgiving! I ended up sleeping in and headed out in some sunshine. Today was just beautiful. We have definitely been blessed with a great fall. I ended up doing a little shy of 8 miles then decided to pick up the pace for 4 miles.

splits were 5:08; 5:16; 5:14; 5:16. I got carried away the first mile and it made the last mile hurt. It almost felt like race pace, almost not quite though. Bonus today was that I had an awesome cast iron stomach, I am way grateful when my stomach holds for a run.

overall pace was 6:39 min/miles
