Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

AM- nice 6 AM (???- whose idea was that) run with Jeff and Lynette in IF.  Nice morning, not too cold, almost no traffic.  Fun times, other than some stomach issues I kept having.  Now it's time for football and food and family!

Happy Thanksgiving to you too! I thought my 7am run was bad. 6am is much worse! Ha Ha!

My club waited until 8 a.m., like sane people. You guys are too much. Have a great thanksgiving!

6 AM?...on vacation?...in IF? are you nuts? Happy Thanksgiving yourself and don't eat too much since you are the "fattest" one of the group. haha.

Have a merry Thanksgiving too. 6 a.m... you guys are crazy.

Logan and I went out at 8:30 and I was thinking that was a little early.

Eat until the food is gone not until your full today!

6 am was Jeff's idea, not mine...

Nice running with you Jon! Yeah, 6am was my idea because I had to get the family to the park by about 8:30 to get ready for the fundraiser race. I needed all the time in between runs to get my family (especially my daughter) dressed and out the door!

Hope to see you at 11:15 today! Ali should be joining us as well.

Hope your Thanksgiving was good! Are you up in IF the whole weekend?
