Oops, forgot to blog this run. I ran 8.25 on my own, then met up with the SF running club for the annual Thanksgiving Day run. We meet at 7am, run then do a gift exchange and have hot chocolate and donuts. There were bagels there, but heck, it's Thanksgiving, so it was a chocolate donut for me. This was the first time I was able to attend this even though I've been running with this club for years. There were lots of people and it was very festive. Josse and MacK came, and I ran mostly with them but chatted with other folks. My friends from my Provo neighborhood came down and it was so nice to see them. They're the ones who convinced me to run my first 1/2 marathon in March of 2005. I got a frozen turkey in the gift exchange, so its turkey for Christmas too. Paul's family were at my home for Thanksgiving, but we were only 17 in number, so it wasn't that big of a group. Of course we cooked enough to feed 40 and most of the leftovers are in my fridge. We went around the table and discussed the things in our lives that we are most thankful for this year, and it was very touching. We really are blessed to have family to love and support us and to live in this great nation, where we have opportunity and plenty.
