10k Turkey Trot

I signed up for the YMCA Turkey Trot a week ago, I am up to running six miles at least four times a week currently, the 10k is 6.2 miles. I have yet to get the map for it, so when I do I will start doing the running the route, my last 10k was a time of 56 minutes and running six miles now is about 54 minutes or so. My best time at six miles was yesterday at 52 minutes thirty six seconds. The weather was perfect, there are about three inclines on the route. I have been running the same route since May, sometimes but rarely running a second route down by the Mississippi. It's been a year since I have run a race, and that was a 5k, when I first moved to Quincy. My best 5k was 27 minutes and I got a third place trophy for that in 2005. I am about to start my run today, just waiting for my blood sugar to rise high enough to endure the time running. Being diabetic it takes a little planning before I exercise. I am looking forward to the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving day. I hope the weather is warm and not too cold. Feel free to post readers...as for today the sun is shining and the leaves lightly blowing so it should make for a great run, my legs are a little sore but nothing too severe. More after the run!!

October

October was a fun month at Zumba, we did the monster mash for Halloween and had two new girls start classes, several people renewed their punch cards and we all burned calories! Looking forward to the holidays and some new routines.
