Thankful 13

Happy Thanksgiving!

I ran the Thankful 13 1/2 marathon this morning.

What does a 4 year old do while waiting?

Finished 2:20.  5 minutes faster than Las Vegas last week.  I’m pleased with this time, because I wasn’t in a rush, but kept my pace throughout the full race!  No walking.  I also finished with 2:20  while running a couple miles up hills!  A few hills in the beginning and then 2 hills at the end!  I ran my pace up EVERY hill.  I took it easy at the end, because I didn’t want Vegas to happen all over again.   Running with my Gatorade bottle helped with that issue.

I’m planning on running this marathon again next year.  Note:  MUST bring my Gatorade bottle again.   This race had poor aid stations.  I wouldn’t have made it if I relied on hydration stops.

Dinner, well more like a late lunch. 2:00pm dinner.  No need for pictures of our dinner.   We all ate the same thing 🙂

We played games after.  Eli picked this one.  Rampage.   He loves the dinosaurs.

Went to Paul’s parents house for dessert.  But first it is gingerbread house decorating time.

My job was to hold the end of the bag closed so the icing didn’t come out.

Eli did a fantastic job!

We had a wonderful time with family.
