At home warm up (.5 mile walk then windmill ham lunges and stretching). Met MacK and Marion, and we did a special run/walk, Thanksgiving edition. 13.19 miles with them, for 13.69 miles total (about 8 min pace for running). I hollered "Happy Thanksgiving" to everyone we passed, even a horse. I enjoyed their company so much. Had hot chocolate and fudge afterward, no one wanted my cut up oranges! We started off our Thanksgiving with a bang. Forgive the mushy stuff, this is really my only journal. I am so grateful to them, grateful for their support, and loving me despite my flaws. I thought about us saying one thing we're grateful for at each mile, but then I forgot, so I guess that makes me an official ingrate :/ However, I am thankful God has seen fit to give me this year, the ups and downs, I know I have learned and grown. I am grateful for the grace of Jesus Christ, because I am nothing without His intervention. I am grateful for my loyal, loving, sacrificing husband and for my dear sweet children. They are so hard, but hard is good. It's what will turn us into diamonds. PM: After grave misdeeds I walk to the neighborhood park with the family and play a FUN game of football. Last year I opted out of playing football, afraid to aggravate any existing injury or cause a new one. This year I say have fun while you can! The game ended when my oldest, Ben, got munched by three people and went to the sidelines in tears. I thought I might have a concussion at first, but he turned out ok. Enjoyed the family time, conversation, games, etc.
