Thanksgiving is a magical holiday, and its not just because you can eat a lot and not feel bad. In fact, I'm so full of cranberry sauce and peanut butter pie that I'm not really appreciating that aspect of it so much. But what I really like is that it officially kicks off Christmas, and all the spiritual significances aside, its a month full of traditions. I love traditions. Today, there was the usual cheeseball and crackers for breakfast while watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (and even though the Jonas brothers were not there, it was still pretty good). We added another one, though, as Jessica ran a 5k with me. Although she hasn't exactly agreed to make it a tradition, I think she did way too well to end her running career with this one. We finished in 32 minutes, and our first two miles were sub-10 minute miles. Which is awesome. So, hopefully, there will be a Turkey Trot every Thanksgiving. (And this one wasn't called a 'turkey trot', but that name is so cute that I am applying it to all races happening on Thanksgiving.)
It was definitely a great way to launch myself back into running in MA since I have just returned from a 2 week trip to VA. I spent a week with my bff Kathryn Waller, who is home from Madagascar for a few weeks for a wedding, and that was fantastic. I got some good runs in too, including one with Bobby, who will also be running the marathon in January. So even though the unlimited access to Waller cookies that lasted all week through the diet for a bit of a loop, my training regiment stayed strong, and everything is looking good.
Sweet. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving : )
