Slept in this morning after a busy Thanksgiving. Loosened up a bit before going for my morning run. Felt pretty loose for the day after a race so I decided to run about 6 miles. Kept the pace pretty even at 6:45. Did some dynamic stretches afterwards to get some more blood flowing to the muscles. Just rested the legs til practice.

3:30 practice next to the Ocean. Ran another 6 with some strides afterwards. Lots of rolling out on a foam roller in addition to massaging the quads and hamstrings with a rolly stick. Need to feel very fresh for tomorrows long run at Westridge. Wicked hilly and wicked long. Looking forward to it.

Hope everyone is recovering nicely from their Thanksgiving feast. If you’re worried about putting on some pounds before next week, it helps to eat at least 3 hours before you plan to go to bed and going for a brisk 15 to 20 minutes after walk after you eat is really good. Obviously your metabolism slows when you sleep so if you are hungry when you go to bed, you are helping your body work less to digest dinner. Feel free to eat a big breakfast in the morning (as you do want to consume about 40% of your daily caloric intake in the morning….you are “breaking the fast”).
