So Grateful for Thanksgiving

This has been such a fabulous week because A Bear had a short work week. Yesterday felt like such a Friday. I kept forgetting that I was doing my Tuesday run and kept trying to do my Friday run. I was so excited that A Bear would be home from work early and that we had the whole rest of the week to spend together. We have been looking at jogging strollers a lot and having fun. We have been trying out different energy/protein bars and I am going to begin experimenting with the different types of gus, jelly beans, etc. Today we went to a local running store and I'm telling you I could've spent thousands of dollars in there. The clothes were great, shoes, socks, gloves, hats, you name it... I wanted it. But it was even more fun to pick out Christmas decorations and think about this fun holiday.

Today I did 5 miles at around 8 AM and it was the most perfect time of day to go running. I felt kinda sluggish and slow but loved the weather. And like I always do, I felt like okay I got through Wednesday, I can make it the rest of the week. Good thing I went slow because we spent the rest of the day walking around stores. I keep telling myself that February is such a bad time to run a marathon because you train in the coldest months of the year, but I have been so lucky with great weather for November, perfect fall running weather.

A Bear has starated going to the spin class at his gym. I am so intimidated of those classes. So funny that I can feel like I can run a marathon, but a spin class, way too hard. I'm pretty impressed by him, he comes home looking like he sweat off 10 pounds. Maybe sometime I will go with him.

I am so excited for Thanksgiving tomorrow, I love to eat and love all the food we are going to have. One of the best parts of being a runner is being able to eat all the food you want.
