I'd say I'm sufficiently ready for Turkey Day! After the half marathon on Sunday (and yes, I did shave 2 min off my best time!), I ran 5 miles this morning against the wind, and I think I did pretty well. I averaged an 8:53/mile. YAY! It wasn't too too cold this morning, but I have a slight cold, so my chest hurt a bit trying to breath through the congestion and the cold weather. However, nothing cures a groggy morning like a run, and now I feel wonderful.
I'm looking forward to a great weekend with both sides of our family. We leave this afternoon for my mother-in-law's. Tomorrow morning, my sis-in-law and I are going to a Zumba class at her gym. It sounds so fun! And Michael asked ME to bring my running gear so that we can run on Friday morning. I know, he is so great! I am very impressed. So this trip to Toms River, I am packing more workout gear than regular clothes. How odd. At least we'll all work off the crazy amount of good food we're going to eat.
I'd like to add how grateful I am for all of the blessings in my life--my job, my ability to run, my TEAM, my friends, my big extended family, all of my parents, my in-law sibs, my hysterical brother whom I miss dearly, and, of course, my partner in life, Michael. I love you all. May you all enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Well done on the half in Philly (my home town, Go Eagles!).
Wishing many more decades of health for your husband, this is why we do TNT!
