Thanksgiving

I'm taking a short break from cooking, baking and washing dishes, as I wait for my little cousins to come over for a sleepover/movie night!

Thanksgiving is tomorrow and luckily I am on schedule for getting all of my dishes baked and cooked in time for the big feast. Thanksgiving is about more than just good food though. It is a day to spend with great family and/or friends and be thankful for what you have.

This Thanksgiving I am thankful for many things.

1.) My family. Cannot wait to see my relatives tomorrow AND spend time with all my little (and older) cousins!

2.) My boyfriend. I had another fun time with him today and it's great to have someone you feel so loved and comforted by.

3.) The opportunity to be a graduate student. I'm loving my program and am so thankful that I'm investing my time and energy towards a future career that I really want and love.

4.) Good health - generally. I'm still able to walk, talk and think.

5.) Great friends. FFFCUP, WWPers, & RUers - all of the fun times, laughs, joys, tears and support.

Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for what you have and what you have been given.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

5K Update 2

The weather was great for my run this morning!! I had been running the past few days to the same "Rock It Workout Mix 2010" that I downloaded last week, but changed it up with my own creation of "5K Workout Mix" which is a nice balance of what Nike+ would call "power songs", 90s pop, and 2010 chart toppers. The run felt great, but still need to work on pacing myself so I don't pass out in exhaustion at the finish line.

Since this 5K is a fundraiser, I'm also really inspired by the two more donations I received! (Hint, hint -- there's still time to donate if you're willing and able! Just visit my personal donation page: http://mcjbr.kintera.org/lindsayplaza -) The actual run will be on December 5)

I think I'm going to change my running schedule up a bit and run every-other-day instead of each morning. On the "off" days, I will walk 5K and do a few reps of 10lb dumbbells.
