Thanksgiving Turkey Trot!

On Thanksgiving morning I did the 10k turkey trot!! A 10k is 6.2 miles and it really wasn't that bad because I have been training for it. I run every day at least 3 miles and I ran 6 miles twice last week so that this wouldn't be that big of a deal. I expected to be dead tired at the end but instead I had a ton of energy and my muscles felt tingly. It was weird but great! It was an amazing day for it as well because it was cloudy and perfectly cool.. I was glad that it wasn't raining though like it was the day before. The weather was perfect! I actually did really good and got 49 minutes! That is better than I have done when I was training and I think all of the people motivated me to go faster. There was probably 1000 people running in it! It was crazy but very fun! Jason's siblings ran the race also. I was surprised that I beat all of Jason's siblings (except Brendan who is an awesome runner and got about 36 minutes!!)- I did not expect to at all. Overall I had a great time and am very glad I did it!

I had to get a picture with the turkey!

All of us after the race!




Happy Thanksgiving!!

Have you seen the new naked pirate movie? Its rated ARRRRR!!!!

So Jason and I were pirates this year for Halloween. I was excited when he agreed to dress up with me because its the first year that we've dressed up as a couple. Usually he'll dress up but it has nothing to do with my costume. Probably because I don't make it very easy for him. Like last year I was a flapper and its hard for him to find a costume to go along with that!





This was my flapper costume last year. I actually loved that costume with the feather and everything! It was one of my mom's costumes which she has tons of!









And this year's costumes!! They aren't that original or anything... especially since at a party we went to the next 2 couples that showed up were pirates! But we didn't care and had fun with our costumes.

Of course we couldn't leave Gigi out!
















Michelle, me, and Brin!










Me with Frankenstein





















Jason's very proud of his weird "pirate" beard.








THE BIRDS:

Gigi's second costume my mom got for her! It's pretty hilarious!

My mom with my nephew Caden. Lexie made Caden's duck costume!! It was adorable!
