Happy Monday runners and turkey trotters!
You know the drill. How was the weekend, what’s on for the week, tell us all about it!

I ran a fun race over a really pretty bridge and got second in my age group! I was there just to see if I could run up a huge incline-twice. The bridge was 2.25 miles long, 3-5.6% grade and was 177 feet above the water but the real reason I love it are the yellow suspension cables.
I am so sore today. I am a swamp stomper and not used to any sort of incline!
Today is grocery shopping day for the thanksgiving feast and I am so excited to make pecan pie this year!
Congratulations! 2nd I. Age group is fantastic especially since I imagine you didn’t taper since the full is your main race goal? Do you start taper now too or are you doing a 2 week taper instead of 3?
A mini taper in that I cut Fridays run in half and rested on Saturday but otherwise the real taper starts this week. I have 43 miles, then 35ish and I never remember what race week looks like. I am looking forward to fresh legs-I swear I’ve had tired legs for a month now. The race should have been my last 20 mile run but honestly the first 20 mile run was fine and I would rather run a fun race instead.
I was right at 1:53:50 and technically 4th since the two women who placed 1st and 2nd overall were in my age group! I had a blast and I think next year I could be a bit faster. I feel a lot more confident about the big hill in the Dallas Marathon now.
