1.5 hours raking leaves and 1.5 hours shredding them and hauling them to the back. Last .5 was fixing the shredder and getting equipment ready.

Walk around the park, My body hurt from Turkey trot. It especially hurt going down hill. I am so out of shape.

Annual Turkey Trot 10K. I am out of shape so I was just trying to survive. I wanted to start at the front of a start wave but instead we went at the back of a wave. This meant I had to do a lot of weaving in the first mile. I went out easy but since it was down hill it was fast. Since I was not pushing it I was ok with the pace. 2nd mile I slowed down. At mile three I got a side ache so couldn't run hard even if my legs would have let me. I slowed down and tried to just keep moving. I did finish without stopping or walking but was not very fast the last couple of miles. Overall, I finished so I was happy.
Post race, Oh my muscles hurt. I was so tired and sore.

I started off ok then had to slow down. I had planned to go 4 but it was too hard. I could feel it in my knee but had to stop when my left calf started twinging.
