Happy Thanksgiving! What are you doing, running, eating today??
Now I’m running, eating and blogging from Ben’s hometown. It’s a sleepy lil city on the Gulf Coast of Florida. And I love it here! I started my day with a run…
I did about 10 slow miles just enjoying the sights and my thoughts. I like to get all reflective on days like this.
Dunkin Donuts finally came to Southern California, but I still haven’t had a DD iced coffee at home!! So, I was very excited to enjoy a post-run iced coffee and croissant donut.
I want to fill you in on all my fun and amazing eats in Florida so far soon!
But first we need to check in for Pile on the Miles.

Hey Monica! Have you ever considered going vegan or raw vegan? You can lose a lot of weight (and sustain the weight loss), and eat TONS of food (I’m talking 2000-3000 calories a day).I’m vegan and I absolutely love it – not just for all the yummy food, but for all the lives I’m saving too. Plus – unlimited carbs. Need I say more? You can contact me if you want to learn more, on my blog or shoot me an email – I’d love to give you some advice or direct you to a few professionals (as I am in no way a nutritionist)! xx

I was vegan for a short time in college. I can’t really go raw vegan because my thyroid issue requires a lot of veggies to be cooked for me to eat them in bulk. I am actually considering going to a complete Meatless Monday in the new year, but that would probably be the most I’d push it right now. I definitely already eat 2000-3000 calories a day actually! And I don’t eat a lot of meat (relative to most Americans) so I just try to keep it balanced in general.

5km (3.1 miles) today! The only running goal I haven’t reached this year is to do 5km within 30 minutes, and I just can’t get it down. Disappointed, but I’m piling on the miles! So far I piled 56 miles in November and I have one more run planned on Sunday. (Actually, I shouldn’t be disappointed at all!)
Due to schedule constraints (working night shift and still trying to make it to thanksgiving lunch), today is a rest day for me–but planning on running off those mashed potatoes tomorrow!
Tried to do an upper body workout today, but failed miserably. Just kept tensing my hamstring and am worried I’m aggravating it. Going to take tomorrow off and hope I’m better for the weekend. So disappointed
