Tomorrow J and I are heading down to see his folks for Thanksgiving, and I can honestly say I'm excited about it. Not only is his family just in general made up of fantastic people (that I don't get to see very often) but they are also great cooks (this year's menu will probably have, for starters, oatmeal pecan pie, pumpkin roll, carmelized brussel sprouts, sweet potato casserole, yummmm).
As an added bonus, they live in what most people would call 'the country.' They have a few neighbors in viewing distance, but not many, and what's more, they have a non-paved road that goes by their house that is exactly one mile long- perfect for shorter runs (twice down and back is 4miles). It stretches up agaist the uninterupted West Texas skyline, and meets with a blissfully flat and little traveled highway that goes on for miles (perfect for a long run). So my Turkey Day won't be characterized by immobility, as I am sad to say it has been in past years. I'll be able to enjoy pie without a lingering malaise of guilt.
Another up note: I'm now nearing the $1400 mark in fundraising for cancer research. I want to raise $800 more before February 18th. That sound like a lot, but I'm going to try my best to achieve that goal. If anyone has funraising ideas, I'd love to hear them...
