Plenty To Be THANKful For Challenge: Black Friday/Leftovers

Hey y'all!  Happy Belated Thanksgiving!  I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday. Before I begin my re-cap, I just wanted to remind you that my friend Lisa was gracious enough to give one lucky reader a beautiful Thanksgiving print.  In fact, it's more than just a Thanksgiving print - it really is a print that encapsulates gratitude all year round.  Check it out here! 
As I mentioned in previous posts, I prefer a nice, quiet Thanksgiving dinner with my family, and in the spirit of keeping things simple, I flat out refuse to participate in any sort of Black Friday shopping.  Quiet honestly, I'd rather pay the extra money to maintain my sanity.  And so far, I am happy to report that my holiday has been wonderfully quiet.   It has included:
* The Turkey Trot 8K with my friend Sally yesterday morning.  It was chilly, but I managed to finish in 44:23 - average pace of 8:56.  I'll take it!  
* Quiet time with the hubs after the race.  I know I am incredibly blessed to have a husband who insists that I put my feet up and catch up on "Gossip Girl" while he cooks all of the dishes to bring to my mom's house.  

(Did I mention that I am also grateful for Chuck Bass?!?!?)

* Dinner with my immediate family.  It was delicious and I am so glad we had the quiet time to catch up with one another.

Do we notice a pattern here?  Thanksgiving is all about putting your feet up!
Today, Black Friday, has already included:
* A recovery run along the lake, where I spotted my cousin's amazing art work along Oak Street Beach.

The rest of my day *should* include:
* Putting up our tiny little tree!
* A night out with my high school ladies.
How was your holiday???  Are you eating lots of leftovers today?  Did you do some shopping??? Link up and tell us all about it!
