Other things going on include going to Dance, Dance and Zumba at UA with Jessica! Those classes are a hoot. I of course would rather kill time ticking away miles on the treadmill but I do enjoy the different workouts.
This week was a good one work wise since it was Thanksgiving making a nice 3 day work week! On Turkey day morning Cable Guy and I took off to Dublin to run the Flying Feather. This was our 2nd time running this race and I really enjoyed it more so this year. You get a nice tech long sleeve shirt and a bottle of wine at the finish! Last year I hadn't ran but a few miles since the half and was feeling completely worn down and burnt out. I finished in 2010 in 43:00. CG finished in 43:53 so at least I had beat him. It took me a few more 4miler tries to beat it due to one 4miler being on the hottest day EVER. I had no idea how I would be feeling for this race but I was just going to enjoy it.
Last year CG took off at the start of the race and if it had been a 2mile race he would have smoked me. This year he pulled back and I told him I would keep our pace at 10min miles. I was quite happy to realize I could have been going at a quicker pace. Around mile 2 I checked in with CG and while he asked me to stay back and run with him, he also would like me to not keep talking or he would punch me :]. Side note...the last time CG ran was last year on TG. He was such a trooper. Around mile 3 I started to pull away a little and had my final mile be by far my quickest.

This is actually from 2010 but I had on the exact same outfit so it will work :] |
Now I am needing to pack up my fall decor for my winter/Christmas ones! But I also need to finish up some arts and crafts too!
Tomorrow should be busy of fun stuff. Arts and crafts will be done and some laundry! And a trip to the gym. I was hoping to go when the Bengals game was on but I just realized that I think the game is blacked out. Annoying.
3 things to get done!
3. Laundry! My pile is about waist high!
2. Christmas wreath. This one is yarn with felt flowers. I just cant make up my mind on it!
1. Go buy a usb cord for my Kindle fire!!
