Happy Tuesday! This week was a pretty low mileage week, mainly due to spending time with family for the holidays, plus 20+ hours in the car 3 days this week. But, I was still able to get out and get in a few runs, including a run in NY and a Turkey Trot in Connecticut! Here are some of the miles:

And some of the highlights:

I got to run with B and FW twice this week! We ran together Wednesday before our car trip and Thursday for the Turkey Trot. AND B even pushed the stroller both times, so I just got to run along next to them.

Post Turkey Trot:

Also, I was able to run on a beautiful and “warm” (40s) day in New York when I was home. I got in a few miles while FW was at a playground with my parents. And I finished up and met up with them!

Also, I saw this floating around on the Instas and had to share it in case you haven’t seen it. Ha! I’m so happy I married into a family where my spouse is up for the crazy turkey day running tradition with me 🙂

Some questions for you:

  • Did you run a Turkey Trot?
  • How cold has the weather been near you?

    I have actually never ran a turkey trot on Thanksgiving. I always think the way I eat I need to run more than a 5k..haha. I just ran on the treadmill while watching the Macy’s Day Parade. Besides it seems to be always cold here on Thanksgiving, but this year it was actually nice, go figure!

    I would say 5 days of running on a busy holiday day is a win!

    The weather here has been crazy. Thanksgiving was really cold. Today I ran in a short sleeve shirt and was too warm…

      Wow!!! I don’t expect short sleeves anytime soon but I’m enjoying 40s!

    Lately it has been nice here in Chicago (50s). I did run a turkey trot but it was so crowded and I regret running it.

      50゚ is great! I’m jealous. That’s too bad about your Turkey trot. Ours was capped at 1000 participants which was really nice.
