Eating and Running and Eating, Oh My!

<

This week Delaney tried real food. This is her trying peas. Delaney is definitely not a fan of peas. But honestly, who really is?

Green beans were a much bigger hit.

Randy, Delaney, and I did the 5K walk called the Jingle Bell Trot at Saluda Shoals park on Tuesday night. The lights were absolutely incredible. They were about a thousand people there and everyone was festive with hot chocolate and sleigh bells. I think this will definitely be a family tradition.

Speaking of traditions, I did my annual Turkey Day run on Thanksgiving morning. Now considering I had been sick for a week and hadn't run or gone to the gym or anything---this was a big feat. It was a 5 miler so that is basically enough in itself. I was a trooper though, and did the run. BUT, my stinkin' I-pod died after 2 songs in. Now some people might enjoy running in quiet and looking at nature and all of that nonsense...but not me. It was absolute hell. But I made it. My time was a little higher than normal, but considering the factors going in...I was quite proud of my self.



We spent Friday night at Jackie's house doing Thanksgiving. Delaney was a bit cranky because she didn't nap good and then was overwhelmed by the people and everything...but the food was delicious and the company was great.

***Oh, and the winner so far in the veggie category is....SQUASH!!!!! We will be trying sweet potatoes tonight. And yes....I am continuing to make my own. Makes me happy. :)
