Last week of November

So my husband went on vacation and I fell off the running bus. I skipped my long run the week he was gone and settled for a few short runs during the week and the Bridgeland Turkey Trot this past Saturday and I still managed 20.1 miles for the week. ??? The turkey trot was uneventful except for the 40 degree weather the wind chill bringing it down to 36 and the constant drizzle/mist that persisted until I was done. Oh and I ran the entire 10k. After a 1.5 mile warm up I challenged myself to see if I could go the distance. Now I didn't break any speed records or anything but since I had only managed to run my first 5k without intervals in May. I walked away from this race quite happy with  myself. The race was a double loop course and since there were only about 230 runners it wasn't crowded. There were water stops about every mile that were staffed with really kind volunteers. There was no swag or medal but there was shit brown cotton shirts for all the finishers. I finished in 1:19:47. like I said slow but it was long run day so that was ok. In fact that pace was 15 seconds per mile faster than my LSD pace. so it's a win. So far with one week to go I have racked up a whopping 73 miles for the month. I guess that 100 mile mark is going to alluded me for at least another month.
