However, I did run. I pushed the dinner time back so I could do it first thing in the day and have time to stretch and shower and bask in the glow of awesomeness before making so very, very much food. I cooked a 19 lb. turkey, cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, cranberry sauce, candied yams with homemade marshmallows, butter beans, breadsticks (from scratch), winter salad with cashews, cranberries, and apples, pumpkin pie (with a pumpkin roasted from scratch - no cans), almond apple crisp, devils food with homemade double-chocolate cream cheese frosting. But. The cool thing is I took care of MYSELF first by running! I am at 2.5 miles in my C25K training so Thanksgiving Day I ran the run with my 7 year old daughter on her biek alongside. It was a wonderful way to start the day. Thank you, Sallie, for your site and your inspirational writings! I would not have come this far in my 6 weeks without you. And congrats on your 10K. :-) I couldn’t find a local trot; being as I was responsible for cooking the massive meal I wasn’t willing to travel to one either.

I did it! Didn't hear too many comments/complaints along the way since I had my iPod blasting with a new Playlist. It was awesome! A beautiful day here in Salt Lake City. Congrats on completing your event! How do you feel? Any lingering injury issues? My back is still not too happy, but I did it anyway. Just can't stand to sit around and let my friends have all the fun!! Hey girl! I did it! Didn’t hear too many comments/complaints along the way since I had my iPod blasting with a new Playlist.
