Quick, name one thing you're NOT thankful for but you SHOULD be!
Me? I never think about how amazingly blessed we are to have such good health, but I should. I can't believe I complain about acne and fat thighs when I have only had to take an antibiotic twice in my life.* My husband's ancient, like antique, and he's in brand-spanking-new condition. I need to be more thankful for our consistently good health!***
In an effort to keep that good health, we ran the local 5-mile Thanksgiving race this morning. When we arrived I realized we'd never registered for this race. I can't believe I forgot! But we've run so many races this fall I thought I had. All those check to the New Orleans Track Club are blurring together in my mind.We registered with the no-Tshirt option.
It was hot and humid today, upper 70's at the start and moist. It was 80's at the finish and the wet weather brought a brisk head wind. Not very good running weather, and I wore my Karhus, which have zero tread and would make great ice skates. I wanted to go slow today since I have a marathon on Saturday, but I started too fast - first mile under 7 minutes - so I had to slow down (not that I could have kept that pace up anyway). I finished in 37:40 but here's the big news - David ran 41:55! Super fast for him!

The Saints game almost gave me a heart attack and made me quite hoarse. Hartley is returning slowly to my good graces.***
I want to buy these jeans but I'm afraid that, like all GAP denim, they'll bag out after a few hours of wearing. I don't like saggy-butt. Has anyone had any experience with this style? If I spend this much on jeans they better be awesome (my other jeans are $12 Forever21 and $9 Ross styles...). ***
I talked little bro' Abe into running the half marathon this weekend while I run the full, but today he told me he might run the full. I love how he can just casually decide to run a marathon two days in advance.***
I hope you all had a stupendous Thanksgiving!!! I'm going to go roll onto the couch and vegetate now!* This excludes the antibiotics prescribed for dental work that I never take. Don't tell my dentist.
Congrats on a fabulous race!!! Happy Thanksgiving!!! I personally love Lucky Jeans, they can sometimes be found at Marshall's for $30.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great Thanksgiving! And kudos to you for running a race (AND a marathon tomorrow)!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great day. Love that your brother is switching it up to the full--awesome!
ReplyDeleteI need new jeans too, so when you figure it out, let me know!
Hmm...I tried those on and think that of the gap skinny jeans, those have the least stretch, if that helps. I find that the Gap jeans I currently have (the always skinny) do stretch out, but I just wash them more frequently to shrink them back to size.
ReplyDeleteGreat Thanksgiving...I can't believe you are running another marathon and even talked your brother into it!
