I am impressed. My Turkey Trot medal came in the mail a couple of days ago and its quality far exceeded what I expected! It's heavy, solid and quite snazzy lookin'. At least, I think so. Here, my medal and I bond while we take a selfie (duo-ie? Together-ie?) together (please ignore the trash can and dog house in the background):

The back:
I claimed a corner of our mudroom as my Race Wall. I've got two of my Mt. Marathon bibs hanging up (I've lost the other two, unfortunately), and the bib from a 5K I ran in August. Plus, the medal from the same 5K and my Turkey Trot medal. Eventually, I want that wall plastered in bibs and medals!
In one month, I'll have another medal and bib for my wall. I'll be in Riverside, California, running this (half-marathon) race: Citrus Heritage Run. I'm really, really looking forward to it! Besides it being my first half-marathon race, my best friend from Alaska will be running it with me. I haven't seen her in SIX LONG months and I've missed her desperately! It will be an epic Girls' Weekend. :)
My run yesterday was a slow 4 miles. It felt wonderful. I felt light and energetic and it was so warm outside! About 50 degrees! At 6 a.m.! I am NOT missing Alaskan temperatures. Or the snow.
Today I rode my stationary bike while I watched "House Hunters" episodes on Netflix. A good way to start the day, I'd say.
I hope you're all having a fantastic day! Get out and run! Or at least work up a good sweat, somehow. :)
