Detroit Turkey Trot 10k & 8 miles on the Paint Creek Trail

Detroit Turkey Trot 10k (55:09)  Nobody is more surprised with this time than I am, seriously.
I've been running so slow lately but it was my favorite temp, COLD, & my favorite terrain, FLAT!
My garmin actually said 6:36 at an 8:42 pace. The bottle necking kept me slow the first two miles, which worked to my advantage, I guess....
Watched the parade afterwards.

Mile 1:  9:14
Mile 2:  9:02
Mile 3:  8:31
Mile 4:  8:26
Mile 5:  8:33
Mile 6:  8:33
.36:       8:24

Saturday: 8 miles on Paint Creek Trail (9:48 pace)
There's a hill going out & coming back as you can tell by my first & last mile.
This trail goes to Rochester, which is 7 miles. Joe ran an out & back once earlier in the year & loved it.
Word in our 'hood, is that we're getting a trail of some kind sometime next year.
I hope it's packed gravel & soft like this trail. I would be in heaven if I had a trail this close to my house like Joe's parents do!

Mile 1:  10:08
Mile 2:    9:41
Mile 3:    9:49
Mile 4:    9:27
Mile 5:    9:37
Mile 6:    9:33
Mile 7:    9:51
Mile 8:  10:21

Not sure what my week is looking like since there's tons of rain in the forecast, I'll be super busy at work, & we're going to New Orleans this coming weekend. I will find time for 10 miles on Saturday, though. ;-)
