Running Chick

It was a beautiful day for the Team /var/run Virtual Turkey Trot 10Tkay. G ran in downtown Houghton, Josh, Zoe and I ran out in our BFE neck of the woods, and Amy ran in the MN. The rest of the tracks are trickling in, Josh will post them over on his blog when everyone's done.

 Our roads were snow covered with a few icy patches but I put a fresh set of screws in my shoes, so I was all set.

We managed a 10:20 overall pace, which was pretty good despite feeling like I was going to die for the first three or four miles.

I haven't really been doing much running in the last several weeks, and Josh and Zoe are speedsters so keeping up with them was a challenge.  Fortunately, I'm doing the Runner's World Holiday Running Streak for the next 33 days, so that'll get me back in shape.

Zoe does not sit still for photos. I tried to get one shot of all the ice on her whiskers, but my cameras not fast enough. Anyway, here's Josh's photos for the day:

Josh had to go to work for a giant project that his group is working on, so it was an early dinner for us. These two stared at me the entire time I ate. Can't figure out why.

This one wasn't bothered.

Time for more pie, Happy Thanksgiving!
