I was beyond tired and really wanted to stay in bed today. We went skiing yesterday. I was the "caboose" and stay behind all the kids while we skied. Therefore, it was a slow snow plow for several hours (it was a great day of skiing though - no meltdowns and all smiles). After 10 miles, weights and a full day of skiing, my legs were toast.
My only goal was to finish!
TT: 33:33 (3 minutes slower than last year)
AP: 8:34
9:21, 8:52, 8:32, 6:56
Mandy and I stayed with our husbands the first lap, then started to pick up the pace. We just kept talking and running. By the last mile, I couldn't talk anymore because we were running too fast.
I was feeling a bit down and grumpy about last year's turkey trot race. I won the 35-39 age catagory last year and my husband's family told me I only won because my SIL wasn't trying her best. I guess being there this year brought back all those sad feelings. I really do need to let it go.
I've decided that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. No presents or major gift expectations. 5-day holiday weekend. My kids REALLY get the gratitude and I love being grateful. It was a good day.
