Give Thanks 4

Good morning! Here we go into a full week. I think I was confused more than not last week about what day it was. I love Thanksgiving week, but it throws me off - ha ha.

The big event for me last week was the Give Thanks 4 Road Race. This was our 5th running, and it went really well. We got close to the 200 mark, but waking up to cold, windy, icy conditions probably hurt our "day of" registrations. We had great volunteers, lots of runners, and a great time.

The only problem was ice. There were ice patches on the course. The "hump" on Doc Hamilton was especially dangerous. Our bike escort for the females crashed. She was OK, thankfully. I really enjoy putting on the Give Thanks 4, and it would not be possible without lots of good help from good people.

I had a cold most of last week, which affected my running. I did few miles, mostly the slow variety. I allowed myself all of November to recovery from Ironman. I am usually pretty disciplined but for November I kinda let some things go. So light training plus lots of eating equals more of me. December equals a return to discipline and more training. I am looking forward to it.

We have a new minister at church, Daniel Lee. I am very excited about his arrival and his work. He is going to work in two areas primarily: 1) youth and family, 2) worship. He is going to do very well in both and beyond, I am confident. We had a good start yesterday, after his arrival late Friday night.

OK, I think I am going for a run soon to get December off to a good start. I hope you have a great day!
