Covered 10K Distance in Training Run
I'm still planning on running the 10K (6.2 miles) Turkey Trot race here in Gainesville this coming Thanksgiving morning. On my training run this morning, I started out with the intention of just doing 3.34 miles. But the conditions were very pleasant (56 degrees, 74% humidity) and I felt energetic. So I decided to try to cover my upcoming race distance. I ended up running 6.27 miles with a time of 53:37 (at my usual pace). Although I've run much longer distances regularly in the past, this run represents the longest I've covered since July. So I now feel very confident and enthusiastic about Thanksgiving's race on November 22.
