Hello! Happy Black Friday! Are you shopping your lil day away? I had a great Thanksgiving! Did you?
It’s my favorite day of the year!!!! And I had such a great day that I spent most of it running, eating and spending time with people who don’t mind that I run and eat so much.
I was so busy with all of that I didn’t take many food pictures. I actually didn’t even get a finished picture of the Cornbread Casserole I made! I took a ‘Before’ picture before I baked it and that’s it.
So here is a quick recap of my running and eating day. (Just imagine there was also and epic spread of food and people teasing me about random weird things I do.)
I’m in Florida and took advantage of the gorgeous weather and flat terrain with a 10 mile run.
I did a quick update for #RERMiles on Instagram…
Then, I hit up Dunkin Donuts for an iced coffee and donut. Since I knew I was going to be eating a lot later I shared this with Ben.
Even though Dunkin is finally in SoCal I don’t go there very often. I was pleasantly surprised to see a few super cute stocking stuffers for coffee lovers there! I feel like this is a great idea – most people I know drink coffee everyday. If you don’t know what to get someone a coffee treat / gift card / coffee themed gift could work.
After my run and coffee I made an epic salad and then started to help cook Thanksgiving dinner. My family does T-day more as a late lunch. Ben’s fam does dinner around 6:30pm. What does yours do?
The only picture I snapped of the food was this soda bread. My cornbread casserole is in the background. Major blogger fail. Oh well!
I hope you had the best Thanksgiving!

Yoga this morning.
I just spent 15 hours decorating my house for Christmas with a toddler. Longest workout ever.
8 very easy miles yesterday, and a 4 mile shakeout today in preparation for my Turkey Trot Half Marathon tomorrow! Anyone else find it weird that the actual race is NOT on Thanksgiving? I found that confusing….
Rest day for me!
Shopping and rest today.

35 minutes of yoga!
4 mile hike today!
Rest day
Rest day today but carried the kids all over the place!
2 miles. My Fitbit is possessed this week. It took 19,000 steps before even woke up. Can we count it?
I got 18,000 steps in. I ran three slow miles this morning and took my brother’s dog on a long walk. My boyfriend and I took a sightseeing walk in my hometown and had a lot of fun. The highlight was the caramel corn!
Thanks again for doing POTM!
Rest day!!
Driving and making a pie today!
10K on Turkey Day! (On the treadmill, because I’m not tossing down $50 to run outside in the cold.)
3 mile walk/run
5 miles on the dreadmill and a light ab workout for the night. Now it’s time for some wine.
I only did a 30 minute run so I could get to shopping. ..I’d have been better off staying at the gym :/
Turkey Trot yesterday and the Mustache Run 10K tomorrow, I nailed my goal, thanks for the Pile on the Miles challenge, it got me through November!
Wish I had done something today after all the eating yesterday, but today was a rest day for me!
I’m going to miss this challenge! It’s been fun checking in every day to report back…ha maybe I’ll still do that and drive you nuts. Kidding! Today is a rest day with plans for a walk soon.
11 miles…boom!
10 miles!
I ran four miles this morning! Great way to start the day!
A long elliptical session so hopefully my hip doesn’t bug me when I run tomorrow.
Quick hiit workout after shopping!
I went to a spinning class.
I ran 7 miles!
5 miles yesterday at the turkey trot! Resting today and tomorrow because we are going to the mountains to get a Christmas tree!

going to try and get some miles in after work, but might have to call battling the Black Friday shoppers early this morning my workout.
3 miles on the treadmill!
I’ve been hitting my goals, ran 17 miles this morning…Had to burn off some the calories from the feast yesterday!
Ran a 5 mile mix of road and trail this AM with some running friends.

Did a little over 2 miles. On vacation mode.
5k turkey trot
Yoga and run done.
Speedwork done! Now, coffee and the new Gilmore Girls!!!!!!!
Rest day (unless I change my mind later and go for a run). I’ve had sore legs all week long, so I guess it’s time to give them a break!
Rest day with family in town-but will try to sneak in some yoga later!
Today we are taking a stroll around Assateague island and then biking on the Ocean City boardwalk!
Spinning class this morning.
After much running and eating and shopping yesterday, I’m enjoying a much needed rest day

Running! Probably around five miles 🙂
Then yoga!
I PR’d my Turkey Trot 5k with 26:40. Super happy!! I was hoping for 27.
Today is a core day and probably elliptical while I watch Gilmore Girls new mini season 😀
Today will be strength at the gym and probably a long walk! That DD stuff is too cute – I might get my daughter that lip gloss – it’s adorable!
Since I didn’t work today – 3 miles in this morning!
4 miles before the family got up this morning!

Sort of warm cloudy day…going for a long walk while the shopping crazies waste all their money!

I’m getting 3 miles in today!
4 miles this morning:)
I love Dunkin’ Donuts! And Krispy Kreme. I wish I had them where I live. There are literally no donut places in Hong Kong. 🙁
