Tonight I am writing this blog listening to Christmas music, finally! This week will be filled with apartment decorations, search for Christmas candles, and maybe mistletoe!
I hope everyone had a wonderful, love filled Thanksgiving weekend with way too much pie and sides!
I completed the TXU Energy 2011 Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day and got my PR for a 10K race at 50:55, 55 seconds short of my initial goal, but I was happy that I was at least close. The turnout was over 13,000 runners at the race. It was wonderful to see Houstonians getting up early on a holiday to burn some calories and to help raise money for Sheltering Arms. I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my family, and it meant more to me than any other Thanksgiving before. My family has shaped me into the person I am now and still becoming. I am forever grateful to my parents, David and Doris, for all the sacrifices and for always supporting me even when I didn't believe in myself.
Today I completed 18 miles, feeling a little sore but overall pretty great! The cool weather felt wonderful and I'm crossing my fingers for similar weather conditions on Marathon Day. I can't say thank you enough to everyone for their support and kinds words of encouragement. Next week's long run is a 20 miler; get excited!!!
Love,
Lauren
