Short-Term Running Goals:

Maybe run a few more marathons?? Stay healthy, motivated and consistent.  Races are fun, but unlike the hokey pokey, its not what its all about for me.  Its about health, sanity and feeling great about myself bc I can call myself a runner. :)

2 mile walk with my friend and then a 3 mile run by myself. I have so much guilt about my crap miles and the amount of junk I've been eating. I need to get clean again. Seriously, My cheeks are getting chubby. Not a good sign. 
Need to get my act together. Get High

Finally ran an amount worth blogging. I hate running up NC but I LOVE running down it. I love when I'm not fighting for breath and I can just lose myself in my thoughts and music. It's my favorite thing ever. Felt really good to run today, felt good to go more than 3, felt good to know that I can still do it. Get High

Planned on running 5 but as I just hit the 4 mark, my dad pulled up next to me and asked if I wanted to go get a drink with him. If the two of us weren't Mormon, that drink would have meant something different. And no. It would not have mattered that it was only 10:00a.m.
We have a lot in common that way. 
Anyway, nice to hang out with him for a minute. The run was good for my head as always. I've just been emotional and ornery for a few days but it helped to get the prozac in. aka running. 
Anyway, Get High.

Well at least I still know I can run a 5k. It's freezing out there but beautiful. I saw my shadow, and its a big giant pear. Which means 27.5 more weeks of winter.

Felt SO good to run. My brother and dad drove by me again and tried to get me to go with them to get a drink but I resisted this time and kept running. Which is hard bc I love a good drink drive. {yes. my family has a sick obsession with drink drives and yes they all live right by me} 
GET HIGH!

Race: Bountiful Turkey Trot (3.1 Miles) 32:10:01

Wow. I haven't logged running miles for a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time. Today I did the Bountiful Turkey trot with my two cute sis in laws. One from Seattle, the other from AZ. So that was really fun to do this with them. We had a good girl talk in the car that continued on the run and then on the way home. It was great. 
This race was a legit turkey trot! They gave long sleeve tech shirts {navy blue} bags AND a medal! I've never been to a 5k that handed out medals. And they were good ones, like marathon good. Plus timing chips and a DJ. It was pretty cool. If they're ever in town again for TG, I would definitely do this one again. Anyway, it was a great day filled with a lot of family and fun. Happy Thanksgiving!! Get High! 

EDIT: Race Report
Kath, Danielle and I had decided to stay together no matter what. But prior to them coming out we had been texting telling each other what minute mile we usually are. We all were right around the same. About 10 or so. I admitted I was a lot slower lately due to not running and eating too much but still, we were about equal. Kath was having shin issues so we said if we have to walk, we'll walk. Its a freaking Turkey trot, who cares. 
I slept up at my mother in laws with Kath so we could be close to the race and Danielle slept at our sis in laws Steph's house. So we picked her up in the morning and she got in the car and said "I have two confessions. 1, I just clogged the toilet at their house and blamed it on Jeff and 2. I'm really around an 11 minute mile. 
It was hilarious. 
My garmin said we kept a 10:20 pace but I'm sure the race results say otherwise bc it took forever to cross the timing chip pad bc of the crowd. THEN I forgot to turn off the garmin after the finish, so I really have no idea what our time was. Very slow start and a lot of dodging people. 
But whatever, we had a blast. We were really grateful we had that time together. Jeff & Anth met us at the finish line to take pics and that was fun. 
Good times. Like I said earlier, I would definitely do this TGTT again. They offer a 10k too. I think we might go for that next time.

Three. I'm exhausted from a long freaking Thanksgiving week of partying and drama. It was a blast but my house is in shambles, my brain is fried and my body is fat. 
Felt good to go run and feel some "normalcy" Get High

It's a miracle. I ran. Last two days I did a lot of walking around stores add to it the mental exhaustion I get from shopping bc I hate it so bad, I'm saying its worth at least a 3 miler in there somewhere. 3 or like 14. Something like that. Get High
