I hope you all had a fun Thanksgiving Day meal and/or Trot.
Last Week –
- Sunday – I hadn’t been in a while so I started the day at the gym…
I also hadn’t run with Jenny in a while but since Sunday is my rest day, she convinced me to join her for a walk.
we took a newly created path and wound up walking 4.5 miles (and at times it was snowing!)
Blogger Jenny was not been a good influence on me when she got a 3rd cat and I ALMOST gave in and adopted a tuxedo kitten.
But no, I refrained. Two is enough and Domino is like having 5 naughty cats. (Diamond is perfect.)
rare moment when Diamond & Domino like each other…
In the evening, I celebrated a tennis friend’s birthday.
- Monday – Jenny was busy so I had to drag myself out for a run…
windy but at leas t the sun was out…
It was also my DAY OFF and I had plans with Heidi for a hike or two as well as lunch.
we hiked around the waterfalls and then we hiked around a pond…
- Tuesday – Gym first thing…
I know it’s just me but I hate when there are Xmas decorations BEFORE Thanksgiving.
and then a run with Jenny squeezed in at lunch…
since I had a hair appt after work.
I forgot to mention last week that after 4 days standing and leaning over a computer, my lower back, hip and quad were stiff and achy.
I immediately made an appt with my chiro for before my hair appt.
However, after my run on Saturday, everything felt normal (that always happens, right?) but I decided that I could use a tune up and kept the appt.
She realigned my body and worked out some kinks in my back and calf,,, Good as new. LOL
- Wednesday – Not much other than work since I was resting up for my race the next day.
Although I did get out for a walk heading south on the rail trail with Jenny. And it was almost 60 degree!?
that cat had caught a mouse…
- Thursday – Troy Turkey Trot 10k
Perfect weather for the race (just a little windy). Though it was a course PW, I had fun seeing all the runners and their costumes. I even came in 2nd in my age group.
I ate all the calories that I burned and more at dinner with my hubby’s family.
and my granddaughter was the highlight of the dinner…
- Friday – Another WFH day and a gym visit…
No Black Friday shopping for me!!
- Saturday – Long Run and Brunch Day. I ran 3 solo miles and then finished 3 more with Deb, Heidi and Sherry before brunch.
- Sunday – Gym visit and ??

So nice to see the kitties getting along, sometimes. We are not at that point yet. Maybe someday! Glad the chiropractor visit made a difference. I have not been to one, but I feel like it could help me at times.

I don’t go often enough. But I think it helps. Who knows?

That’s some real action there with your cats! I wouldn’t have been able to resist that kitten though…
It’s good to get some chiro/massage/etc treatment now and then when you do a lot of training! My lower back has been tricky again lately but I have two exercises that seem to fix it most of the time, and using my standup desk instead of sitting helps a lot too.
That waterfall looks fantastic! On Black Friday I bought a lifetime license on a decent photo editing app. And some clothes. 🙂

How could you resist that little cutie??? But I know what you mean about having a naughty cat… Foxy is trying hard to destroy our Christmas tree.
Sounds like you had a great week. I also worked on Black Friday and did not shop… but I have some Cyber Monday action planned!
Congrats on the race- I’m looking forward to the recap.

I also don’t like early Christmas decorations — or TV ads, but it seems to be a losing battle.
Glad your back is feeling better — we can all use a good tune-up!

Yes, and of course, it felt fine as soon as I made that appt.
It seems that the stores and ads start earlier and earlier each year.

I’m so glad you got realigned and are feeling good as new!
We travel so much during the holidays and I hate spending time putting everything out only to enjoy it for a few days. So early decorating it is. I am also slow on the takedown. I get lazy.
Your granddaughter is the cutest!

AG awards just depend on who shows up. But Thanks.
The movie got cancelled due to our snowstorm but I thin I’m going on Thursday instead.
