There were some decent long runs, but I was disappointed I didn't even attempt the hard LT run on Friday. I don't know whether it was from Thanksgiving dinner or just apprehension about a long, difficult run, but I felt horrible that morning. At least there's another two weeks before the Sugar Land 30K.
We're getting pretty close to race time:

You're putting in good miles. Don't get discouraged. You can always get that LT run on another day. I'll be staying tune to read the results of your 30k.
