no skimping on the thanksgiving feast over here

* hope you all had a warm and happy thanksgiving. this year i have lots to be thankful for. healthy and happy family members and friends, a happy, healthy and loving husband. a warm home, and the motivation to run.

i did the pier run again on wednesday evening, so when thursday rolled around, i didn't have to feel too bad about indulging. i should be honest and say i don't ever feel guilty about eating unless it's something unhealthy like fast food. i don't do that very often though. anywho, getting way off course here. when the holidays roll around, we're (if we're fortunate) inundated with treats and big big meals. after a couple of days of this, another run was in order. jennifer and i (reluctantly) got in our running gear and did about a five mile run in el morro on saturday. the weather was absolutely beautiful. about 65 or so  and sunny. crisp and cool. we pretty much ran the whole time - just walked up some of the bigger hills. the best part is we didn't get lost this time! we high-fived when we got to our turn around point.

we were so lazy that morning. tyler and i went to breakfast and then got under blankets at home and read harry potter (we're reading the first book - his third time, my secondish). anywho, if it weren't for tyler encouraging me to go ("it's a beautiful day - so perfect for a run!"), i might have flaked on myself. but i listened and rallied and got jennifer to rally too. we were so thankful after.

xo,
jessica

* this is not a photo of a humble runner. i simply googled "turkey dinner" because i wanted to include a photo of...you guessed it: a turkey dinner. and this was the first photo that came up. i thought it was hilarious. and the biggest turkey i've ever seen. i think it deserves to come up first. but is it real?
