Well hello readers! The weekend has passed and it was a good one. Stayed at home this weekend, had a lot of family time and it was relaxing. I planned on at least maintaining what I had done this past week and I'm happy to say that I did. 196 this morning. My sister and I ran at the gym yesterday. We both did our 3 miles. I did mine in 28:17. The Turkey Trot run is this weekend and I'm pretty excited about it. I haven't ran a 5k in a while but that's not what makes this one special. This one my sister will also be running. She is afraid that she won't finish but believe me, she will. It's a whole lot different when you are running an event versus running by yourself. Running an event like the Turkey Trot pushes you even harder to finish. You see all these other people not stopping so immediately you don't want too. You will find it in yourself to keep going. It's crazy but that's how it works.
We have a little more training to do this week. Going to run hard the beginning of the week and rest a little at the end so she will have plenty in the gas tank for Saturday morning. We still have to register for the race as well so we will have to get that done sometime this week.
I can't believe that next Thursday is Thanksgiving. Time is flying by so fast now. We found our camcorder yesterday and started watching old videos of Krislynn and her first and second Christmas. I'm glad we found it because we have film her third Christmas this year. It's crazy to see myself in those videos with Krislynn in my arms. It makes me remember why I started all this in the first place. My sister says it looks like I'm wearing a fat suit in those videos! But to see my daughter go from the sweet baby girl that she was into the sweet big girl she is now makes me happy and proud. Everything I do now is for her and my wife. As long as both of them are happy and taken care of that's all that matters to me. Give me a break, it's the holiday months so I may sound a little sappy here but I am thankful for my little family. I don't need just one month to express that or put it into words on a social media outlet. I'm thankful everyday.
Well that is all for today. We will run tonight and some the rest of the week so I will keep you posted on our progress.
