Sorry I have been a little MIA lately! Earlier this week was a little crazy with getting ready to travel, and now we are in upstate NY visiting my parents for the holidays.
So far it has been wonderful. We made it East without too many flight issues, even though there were big storms in Denver. Since we got to NY, we have visited with friends and family, wrapped Christmas gifts and eaten lots of cookies! Ryan and I have been trying to go to the gym most days, doing both some running and weight lifting.
Posting will continue to be light through the new year, but I will do my best to post when I can. I hope everyone enjoys their holidays! Spend time with those you love and care about.
What are you doing for the holidays?

Getting in the Holiday Spirit
How was your weekend??
Mine was full of holiday cheer!
Of course, first I had to get in a run. Last week I had a dream about doing a 10 mile long run (yes, I seriously dreamt about it! guess I was really missing running!), but that just didn't fit in with the busy day for Saturday. I did squeeze in a chilly but speedy 5-miler. It was actually really great run because I almost beat Ryan and did beat Matt back to our starting point -- that never happens!
General run stats: mile 1 in 9:35, mile 2 took 9:03, mile 3 was 8:33, mile 4 8:09, and finished off with mile 5 in 7:58. Sweet! I actually passed both guys, but Ryan just couldn't let me beat him! Haha.
After the run, we packed up and headed to Reno, NV for the night. The drive out was a little snowy, but nothing too crazy. Mostly, I just loved seeing all the snow stuck to the trees.
We went to Reno for the Reno Santa Pub Crawl! So once we got there and checked into our hotel, we got all dressed up in our holiday gear, ready to run around the town.
It is quite the event with thousands of people showing up. We had heard of it this fall when the guys went to Reno for a trip, and saw the zombie crawl. Overall, it was a blast! So many fun costumes! Not only were there Santa's all over the place, but there was also elves, reindeer, and even some Christmas tress. I don't have a picture of it, but my personal favorite was a group of people who dressed up as a plate, cookies, and milk.
At midnight they try to get everyone to congregate at the Reno arch for a picture. This one is from last year:
We made it just in the nick of time! The crawl was definitely a blast! I'd love to go to it again next year if we can.

Chilly morning, so I layered up. Compression pants and socks, and a long sleeve shirt

Happy Thanksgiving!
This morning I ran the Run to Feed the Hungry. They said they were expecting record attendance this year! It was a beautiful morning to be out on the road with so many people!!
Kept the outfit fun with lots of pink! Work my ProCompression socks, pink long sleeve tech t from last week's Davis Turkey Trot, and my new pink BIC Band.
Today I am thankful for my amazing family and friends, especially my wonderful,supportive husband. For the smiles and laughter that are present every day. I am thankful for moving my body and my health, and for being able to continue learning every day.
Hope everyone has a great day today!
Happy Thanksgiving!
