Thanksgiving weekend gave me four days off work and I took advantage of the daylight three times with some great trail runs. With the daylight dwindling and the weather turning colder and wetter leaving the trails sloppy and uninviting I haven't been on the trails much. My training log says 2 days training on the trails and 1 day racing on them so far this month. 60% of everything else is eliptical and treadmill so Im lucky to actually make it outdoors this month. Thanksgiving break gave me the opportunity to get out there and I did and so did you or at least your friends did. The trails were loaded full of hikers and runners all over the place. Even in the smaller lesser known parks.
