<p>I'm heading out for a run. Not sure how far, depends on how things hold up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a great day people. Going to be pretty quiet here, as we aren't celebrating till Saturday with Dh's family. We already cooked the turkey, because the [gas] oven is right next to the dining room door and the [oil based] poly is highly flammable. We'll hopefully be getting 2 more coats of poly on the floor in there today, and I'll be working in my studio.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>QODY: I was actually thinking about this a lot the last couple months. Besides the obvious, Dh, family, friends, being as healthy as I can, I am grateful for my studio. Both for the equipment (my dad and brother are responsible for building 3/4 of it, so when I work down there I can't help but look around and smile and think of them), and having the skills to make stuff that people are willing to buy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now that I've been laid off again, working down there gives me something positive to focus on, and purpose every day. And it's fun. <img alt="smile.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_7_1322132725272_163" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"></p>

<p>Greetings all!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Tim</strong> - Jeesh, your family is ALL fast!  Sweet cleanup of the awards! :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rawr for Turkey day events or personal runs for no other reason than the joy of doing it!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rawr for (by now) <strong>Moonie</strong> arriving to see <strong>Bard</strong>!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I survived my HM without injuring the ankle again, so I am immensely pleased.  (I actually started at the VERY end of my wave, as I had a sudden fear that I'd start up, roll the ankle, and then be trampled by a bunch of people in a domino-fall-down effect)<br><br>
I was about 13 minutes slower than last year, but considering my lack of running for the last 5 weeks (cold + ankle issues), plus purposely running the first 2-3 miles ridiculously slow to test out the ankle,  I'm actually okay with that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've cleaned up (yah for an epsom salt bath for really tight leg muscles), and made Mom's delivery.  She was actually there, so it sort of spoiled the surprise, but I guess it's all good. I'm now in the process of eating my own plate of T-day dinner (which turned out much better than I expected!  self-rawr!) and after that, i foresee a LONG nap via a self-sacrifice to the couch monster!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I hope each of you have a wonderfully relaxing and heartwarming holiday!</p>
<p> </p>
