Thursday the older three kids and I ran the Parkville Turkey Trail Trot again. This was the first time for The Boy (tm) and he ran the whole way. I was proud of all the kids. The weather was cool with a very stiff breeze out of the west. That made standing at the starting line a lesson in enduring a little cold. The sun was shining and we had a great time. Next year all four kids want to run, as well as the wife, so we'll spend a nice little bundle in registration fees. I don't mind, though, since it's fun and a good tradition.
This morning I ran my final long run and definitely felt the effects of the holidays. The food and drink, and the latter more than the former, caused me to feel sluggish. The weather today was awesome, probably in the fifties by late morning when I started and climbing to over sixty degrees this afternoon. Only one week to go until the race. I have a few more easy runs and one mild speed session planned. I'd like to find a cheap airfare to Memphis, but when I looked today the lowest price was $504 for a trip that would take me to Detroit, Indianapolis, and somewhere in North Carolina before arriving in Memphis thirteen hours later. Yeah, I'm still planning on driving at this point.
