happy turkey day!

today, we kept the tradition of running the turkey trot as a family.

we run it each year, each at different paces.

and again, for the many-ith year in a row, i ran with karen c.

we are such good running buddies, i love it.

i hadn't run in MONTHS, so my goal was a 10 minute pace.

i was just gonna run for fun and enjoy it.

her goal was about a 9 minute pace {what we did last year} but i told her to heck with it.

our pace?  was 8:49.  HOLLA.  we finished in 27:37.  i'll take it.

come to find out we've both been doing paleocentric diets {with some wiggle room} so maybe our bodies were just better fueled and did so much better, even though we were rusty with running.

awesome.  and i love that our bodies are capable of that!

then the family came over for dinner and it was delicious.

and i ate waaaay too much.

now i need to go run 10 more miles.

happy thanksgiving!

so thankful for my many friends and family.

and missing the family that is not here today {gma, gpa, lori, dave..first time ever!}
