Weekend recap - thus far

Cold this morning, 28 F. Heavy frost on the ground and parked car windows. The sun rising angles through the trees and sparkles on the frosted grass still mostly green.

Did an easy three mile run. Legs feel a little sluggish after the race Thursday morning. Ran well for the condition my body is in at the moment. Had more left at the end. Should have made a greater attempt to find a map of the course to see where we were going to get an idea of where the mile marks were that would, at least, have helped with the pacing. It is better to run knowing where you are in relationship to the finish. Oh well, next time.

More important (1) that is was for a good cause (Best Buddies), (2) that there was a group of Pacers running, and (3) that since it was early Thanksgiving Day, the race provided a good reason to enjoy the feast later without any hesitation or regrets.

The feast was celebrated with the wife's side of the family, always a good meal and interesting conversations. On Friday, my side of the family gets together to continue the party. The "little" kids are all over having a good time while the "big" kids catch up on things. Now, this day is more for really relaxing and catching up on some rest (once some of the house cleaning and other chores are completed).
