Logging 20.

Hey, thanks for taking a break from Cyber Monday to stop over at the Happy Runner! I wish I had something enticing to offer you. How about some free shipping on this blog post? Today only!

Holy moley. What's up with Cyber Monday? I've been bombarded by emails, ads and Facebook posts all about the Cyber Monday madness. Has it always been this way? Did I miss the madness last year? Sheesh.

Anyway, in the midst of all the Thanksgiving eating and visiting with family, I managed to get in a few good runs. I didn't run in a Turkey Trot but I did log 5.5 miles on Thanksgiving when my legs gave thanks for the flat routes on Long Island -- what a break from the hills in my neighborhood! On Friday I went out for a quick 3.5 miler, which I shook up with some fartleks thrown in the middle. I took Saturday off and then ran a 5 miler yesterday (Sunday) to end the week with just over 20 miles!

OK, 20 miles a week may not be a lot for some but for me it is great. Back when I was still pregnant and imagining what my post-baby running would be like, I never thought I would be back to 20 miles 7 weeks after giving birth. Honestly, I thought it would be a little tougher and it would take me a little longer to get the mileage up. But, I'm back to 20 -- right around where I was before getting pregnant (I'm normally a 20-25 mile a week runner). Overall, getting to this point has gone well. There have been a few glitches but in the 5 weeks that I've been back to running, I've almost always felt very good. I'm fortunate, I know.

And now I'll cut back on my miles this week in preparation for Saturday's 5K race. I can't wait . . .

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and weekend. Congrats to all the turkey trotters!
