Happy Thanksgiving trailers. Ran 4 fast (for me) miles on the road today. A bit slippery out from our snow, but fun (for a road run).
XT - Are you running Dirty Bird on Sunday. DW and I signed up, and will be there. I've only run the Double Trouble at FC Park, so this should be some new trails for us. Park
QOTD: Favorite part of the day - Food, Friends, Family or Football? (name food item or team you are rooting for).

Happy Thanksgiving! Important business first:
qotd: I like people and all but-
turkey. I spent some time encouraging my mom to brine the bird and I have high hopes. She often cooks it dry, but it's a delicate thing, telling your ma how to cook.
Anyway, I got in an hour on the road this cold, calm morning. It was nice to have decent footing, and if it didn't immediately resolve my issues, I have a better sense for what's going on- lots of soft tissue work ahead but nothing's busted.

I will run later today..really... I will. It is a certainty I will consume waaayyy too much! So run...I must.
I am a foodie. Eating food with my family...even better. We will watch football...it is a family tradition to watch The Lions lose (occasionally in spectacular fashion) on Thanksgiving.
Favorite food? I love it all. I guess turkey and cheesecake are my favorite...but I want what goes with it too. Everyone have a great day!

Uh oh... now what?
Humongous T-day message posted -- hope everyone is safe and warm and have some trails to enjoy.
Will do laps on the ferry looking for whales as we cross to America.
Favorite part of the day --
Cooking, but avoiding today by visiting a brother-in-law, baked bread/muffins yesterday;
Family -- phone calls are done, all are a long way away;
Sports -- ratz... will be on the road back to the ferry when the Seahawks/fortywhatzits play.

Did a road run this morning on the 6.2 mile loop at the Arb. Roads were extremely slick and was wishing I wore screw shoes. Stayed upright and actually pushed the pace a little where I could. Yesterday I broke trails in the Arb following our little snowstorm, nice run but tiring. Now it's time to be a slug, do the family gig, overeat, watch sports, and have a number of beers. I am up for that!
QOTD--Food and sports. Sports today will be a Badger basketball game vs. Georgetown on between football games. That trumps the NFL unless the Packers are on.
Yawn, just crawled out of bed. Now it's time to head out for a nice run. Probably looking at 7+ miles. DW just headed off to work and both the kiddos ended up being home so after the run I'll throw some chicken on the grill. The turkey is sitting in a bucket of brine waiting for Saturday when we are all home together.
QOTD: Years ago it used to to be family. Now DW's family has all moved to other states, my family doesn't get together anymore because of a brother's actions. For me it kind of ruins the day and I would just as soon treat it as just another day. The food is nice, but I'll make the same type of meal anytime of the year. Football is nice, but since I don't have TV service it's difficult to watch. Of all the teams that are playing today my favorite is the Eagles.
Oh, the best part of the day? The double time and half that I and DW get for working on it.
Are we there, yet?
Lazy morning. Up about 7 but didn't get out to run until 11:30 even though my 11 mile run would mean I'd miss most of the first half of the Bears game. This is the first Thanksgiving in memory that I've celebrated alone since the family I customarily spent it with moved. I find I don't really miss it. There was always a lot of underlying tension that politics might come up in discussion.
QOTD: Favorite part of the day are the food, either sirloin tips in Teriyaki marinade or Chicken Korma this year, and watching football. Both my favorite teams, Da Bears and the Eagles, play today. I can always hope that at least one of them will win.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Got a nice 6-ish in the hills, about 6" of snow so it slowed things down considerably, but a good run nonetheless.
qotd: eating and then eating more and after some relaxation, get up and eat just a little more
