Happy Thanksgiving Eve!

Usually, my plans for the night before Thanksgiving involve boozing-face with high school friends, but Mal and I signed up for a 5-mile road race tomorrow morning, so we’re having a low-key evening at home instead. Oh, how things have changed.

I didn’t snap a ton of photos today, but here are a few from Instagram”¦

After breakfast, I took a yoga class. It was a Vinyasa Flow with lots of back-bends, which the instructor said would give us lots of energy for the Thanksgiving holiday. Fabulous. Thank you very much.

After yoga, I ran some errands, which included going to Whole Foods the day before Thanksgiving (simply put: yikes), and then I came home, ate lunch, and baked a zillion cookies””some for tomorrow and some for a recipe on Health.com next week.

Mal had a half day at school today, so Murphy helped him play video games.

A little before 4:00 PM, I headed out to pick up our numbers for tomorrow’s race.

Bib pick-up started at 4:00 PM, so I planned to go early to beat the crowds. It’s also a small race, so I didn’t think too many people would be there.

Well, it turns out, the place was pretty busy!

I actually only waited 5 minutes, but I was still surprised to see so many people.

I got an odd number for tomorrow. I hope it brings me luck!

Check out the race shirts! Long-sleeve + orange = cool!

The safety pins for the bibs came on friendship bracelets and bottle openers. Fun, right?

And look what was in my race bag: a KFIT Boot Camp flyer! KFIT is my friend Kerrie‘s boot camp. She’ll be at the race tomorrow, so I’m going to try to keep up with her! She’s fast!

On the menu for dinner: Slow Cooker Classic Pot Roast. Our house smells so delicious right now. I can’t wait to dig in!
