Post Thanksgiving Wrap-up

Still nothing structured but have kept a few long runs to maintain over the past two weeks.  Put in a 12 miler the Sunday prior to Thanksgiving in 1:51, so that has me close where I would like to be for an easy sub 2h half marathon, also ran a homemade 10K on Thanksgiving morning along the GW Parkway from my sisters house to Mt. Vernon.  Was cold and did not feel like running but put in a 55min time, so that was enough to stock up and eat the rest of the day.

Over the next two weeks I am going to try to get back to the pool a bit so by the end of December I should be back to 2-3 swims per week of 2000 yards.

Also, entered the lottery for the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon next May and will know by January if that is a go.  This would be an awesome event and the first field I can get in that would have a bunch of world class triathlon stars.  Lets keep the fingers crossed.
