One day til we pick up my parents. Lots of cleaning and reorganizing. Since my dad can't get upstairs much, plus he has his wheel chair half the time, we have to make sure the downstairs bedroom/bathroom are ready.  I finished half the Thanksgiving food shopping and found the smallest turkey possible. I've never even tasted one, let alone made one, so it's a good thing my dad will be here

Off to do more cleaning.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JO!

How is this possible? 

I confess I had to do a double-take on that one, too!

Hahaha! What comes of being a lifelong vegeterian. Well, I took up the ocassional fish about four years ago, but other than the smell of bbq, meat doesn't have a draw for me. Weirdo, I know.

Totally NOT stealing Janyne's thunder because I can only strive to be half as awesome as her, but we have 3 turkeys racing tomorrow!

Janyne - Ridgewood Turkey Trot

Randee - Manchester Road Race

Melanie - Sticks and Biscuits Thanksgiving Day 5K

My apologies for not having the correct pretty colors for everyone.  Note the comment above about not being as awesome as Janyne!   I went with turkey day colors instead.

That was great!  I'm actually amazed by how well most of them did.  Every once in a while I will try to write all 50 states, it's always sad when I get stuck at 49 and really have to think to figure out what stupid state I'm forgetting!

You are just trying to cover up the fact that you are going to OLD PEOPLE for the weekend!

Thought about doing the local Turkey Trot.    The low in the morning will be around 18 degrees F with a wind chill of 12 degrees F.      

 

I will do a 5K on the treadmill in the sun room tomorrow morning, thank-you-very-much....      This will be the coldest Thanksgiving that I can remember for these parts.

Oh man I wish we had Black Friday sales here, not that it would probably make much difference because silly me didn't even think iof it last week and went and ordered stuff from amazon. If I had waited a week I probably would have scored some sort of a deal.

Yup, this is why I shouldn't have tread onto Janyne's turf - she is the upcoming race pro!!!  I bow to you, oh master!  Somehow I didn't see these other races...   forgive me, overlooked racers and Janyne. 

Yay to no more DL members, per Darren's report!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!

I learned several things today--Run to Feed the Hungry is apparently THE largest race (in numbers of participants) in the US! Also, probably not the best idea for me to run a 10k 4 days after a half that knocked the snot out of me....

It was a fun little run though--there was smells of roasting turkey, and fireplaces along the course, multiple mimosa stations( ---not race sanctioned--residents along the race route are VERY supportive, and will often set up decorations, music, water and coffee stands, and for whatever reason, mimosas--in some cases, it looked like they were making them with cranberry juice rather than OJ--but still plenty of champagne); and there were costumes...lots of people with turkey hats, lots of tu-tus, and this:

The 3 people in that turkey did the entire 10k. and then they did a little dance at the intersection after the finish line...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone---I am thankful to have this pod of manatees in my life!

Happy Thanksgiving, Manatees! You turkey trotters are hard core (doing one was a mere passing thought for me). I cooked my first full Thanksgiving meal last night and this morning with my dad's guidance, my grandma's rolling pin...and a venti double shot dirty chai delivery from DH. :D

Near the end of one of my long runs, I noticed my left hip aching. There was a slight pop with each step. The hip was sore for 2 days after the run.
