No for the first time in several years, I did not participate in a Thanksgiving Turkey Trot!

last year

• 2011 – Bethlehem Towne Turkey Trot 5k (new course)
• 2010 – Bethlehem Towne Turkey Trot 5K (5k PR)
• 2009 – Cardiac Classic 5k

I was tempted…but I am only up to running 1 mile and it would be stupid to do it (even though I am known to do stupid things like running a 5k with a stress fracture).  I did not want to end up with another stress fracture.

Since it was just my hubby & me, I decided not to cook and instead go out to eat.  We decided to go to Lake George Village.  Two restaurants there had Thanksgiving Buffets and although both of the menus looked great,  I chose The View at Dunham’s Bay (because it had a better view.)

It was beautiful day for a ride.

The food was good.  Not as good as mine…ha ha.  But certainly more relaxing than shopping…cooking…and cleanup.

The desserts were the best.  I had French Silk pie and apple pie.  My hubby had strawberry shortcake & pumpkin pie.

We couldn’t resist after dinner taking a ride north to our marina.

it looks odd without any boats

We ended the day at the movies – Life of Pi.  A little sad and definitely leaves you thinking.  I recommend it. (now I want to read the book – which I usually do first.)

Happy Running! Did you run a Turkey Trot?  Hope you had an enjoyable day.
