Oh, yeah, and I just signed up for next year's Philly Distance Run HM.    It's not until September, but my discount as a returning runner expires soon.  You lot have had quite an effect on me - scheduling half marathons almost a year in advance!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

Eliz

I did my own Turkey Trot for free this morning around the hood..4.41 miles.  Don't have

to cook this year, so off to stuff my self at MIL's.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

A Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving Day wished to all who read this !

There better be a whole lot of RR's to read.....remember, I am liviing vicarously thru your runs. Somebody damn well better get me an AG placement too ! 

Off shortly to gather with my DW's side.....lots of wild game along with the traditional turkey. Anybody like turtle ?

Eliz, thanks for starting us!   You have had a busy morning.  I hope things go well (as in calmly & with minimal angst) at your mom's.   

belated good luck Sarge!   btw, how is your dw?

speaking of DW's, Stevep, you have this way of touching our hearts & making us laugh at the same time.

Hi Hallar... I meant to say before that I love your avatar.  maybe one of these days I'll come up with one.  I'm so glad your running is going well...   injury free?

Slo_hand...  no racing or placements for you but I had a nice fartlek run ;-).    A long time ago, DH & I went out with another couple & their 2 yr. old DS for dessert.   This place had those brownie/caramel/nut ice cream things called turtles.  We went around the table & ordered it, one after the other & their DS's eyes got bigger & bigger.  He was quiet for a while, then looked at us & said  "they move! " 

PDR will you get to see Dear Old Dad today?

It was cold & windy - in both directions, (really!) with some spitty rain but I had a nicer than expected run.  The last 3 have gone pretty well, & I don't know why.  6.24 miles, average pace 9:42, max 8:02.  I did 8 fartleks.  I'm taking this as a cutback week & this might have been just a little longer than necessary but I hated to waste a day when I had time to run a little longer without going nuts trying to get to work.   Was tempted to go longer but I was trying to be smart, & got a late start anyway.  I kept finding & losing things.  hat, gloves, mind. 

Happy Thanksgiving everybody.   I am so thankful to know all of you.  Hope you all have a very wonderful day.

mta, wtg Sarge!   I like how you ran this race.. might try it (except more slowly!) when I get up the nerve to enter another one. 

dg  DW is feeling pretty good still some hip pain but not like before.  She did 5 miles around the neighborhood this morning.  She could have easily won AG at the race only 5 lady walkers age 50+ no runners.  She played it safe & didn't want to get caught in the race & go to hard and have a re-injury.

Have A Wonderful Thanksgiving!!!   

Good for you Eliz!!!!!!

Hide your avatar Eliz!!!!

Good luck in your race Carolyn!!!

I was in two races this AM. The 5K was long..... 4/10's of a mile long...Thank goodness.

I hope the mile "Fun Run" was too.

No dogs were allowed to race. Both times I passed the truck, Tag was looking out very ticked off. He wouldn't talk to me all the way home.

One hour run today in the rain. It was nice running around the neighborhood where I used to run when we lived in Portland, OR. One more day here and then we will drive down south to Florence, OR where I will see the delightful Woods Lady.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

wow - speedy racers around here today!

for the first time, I ran in the local Turkey Trot. There was a 2 miler and an 8 miler. Since DS wanted to run a race with me, we chose the 2 mile fun run. Well, I thought he wanted to run WITH me, but he had other plans. He left me in his dust after only 1/4 mile. I could barely see his head bobbing and weaving through the crowded bike path trail and knew I couldn't catch him.
He finished in 15:29. He said he felt sort of nauseous at the end when he was trying to pick off as many runners as he could in that last 1/4 mile. He even talked about 'drafting off a couple fast guys' . . . you'd think he's done this before or something.
Anyways, he had a great time and finished around 12th in his AG I think. But they had his AG as 14 and under , which in my opinion, isn't really fair. The young kids are competing with some of the freshman track kids. I'm guessing that if they had a 10 and under AG, like they usually do, he might have been in the top 5. Real proud of him. He had a great time!

I baked two pumpkin pies last night and mixed up a fruit salad this morning. We are only bringing one pie with us to my parents but my husband said it's some rule that we have to leave one at home, so he has his own pie to eat later. I never heard of that rule before, but being the good wife I am, I baked two.

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!
