I’m now in full-blown holiday mode. We had a great Thanksgiving, and I am getting ready for Christmas. I even survived another Black Friday shopping trip.
As you all may know, it was my first year hosting. I think everything went well – especially because I managed to properly cook the turkey. Winning!
I think everyone enjoyed themselves.
After turkey day, I ordered my Christmas cards. This was a picture from my Austria trip earlier this year. I thought the snow looked festive.
I also got out all the decorations and set up the tree.
I think Kev will kill me if I buy any more decor.
Winter holidays are great, but I’m not looking forward to continuing my runs in the cold. Luckily it’s not cold yet, and I managed to squeeze in my 4 miles yesterday. I completed about 3.8 very hilly and extremely windy miles in 32 minutes. I used the remainder as a cool-down, which I certainly needed!
- How was your Thanksgiving?
- Have you decorated for Christmas yet?

Running during the winter can definitely be a problem. If there’s proper distraction I can usually stand the treadmill, but I swear when I get back to running outside it still feels like I just took the entire winter off. Huffing and puffing the entire way!

I need to get on my Christmas decorations!! This it my first time living alone, without the intention of moving so I think I will invest in some fun ones! I can’t wait. I heart Christmas time!

I don’t too much in the decorating apartment since I dont have much space, but now I’m thinking maybe I can find room for a tree somewhere?
Also, the card is very cute. I’d display that on my fireplace mantel (if i had one)

November 28, 2011 at 8:36 pm
Very cute Christmas card. I always think that I’d like to send them out but then I get too lazy!
November 28, 2011 at 8:44 pm
I just decided to chill out on the running during the winter months… I’m a fair-weather fan when it coming to running.
November 28, 2011 at 9:30 pm
Your tree looks great!! I haven’t put up decorations yet!!
I love running outdoors but I agree that it starts getting way too cold!!
