Happy Thanksgiving, friends! As you’re reading this, I’m currently spending time with family and friends. I did start my day with a “long-distance” 5K Turkey Trot race with my sisters! Even though Sarah is half a nation away, we decided to run together on this day. It’s true what they say, iron sharpens iron!
For my second annual Turkey Trot, we not only hit not one, but TWO hills on the route. As I was rounding a corner and saw that last hill (I didn’t look at the route map, lol!), I groaned (let’s be real here) and ran faster.
I knew that if I didn’t give it a go, I would have a hard time getting up the hill at all. My overall goal was to run without stopping. Once I got to the one mile mark on my Nike Running app, I was so happy! I had ran an entire mile without stopping! So I decided to keep pushing to see how far I could go.
And if I’m being honest, I cried as I ran towards the finish line. I was focusing on my reason for running. I cried because I ran for my daddy and friends I’ve lost cancer to: Joshua Franks and Thomas Smith.
Throughout the race, my mind kept telling me to stop or to walk the race. But I just kept asking God to keep the pain away and to give me physical and mental strength to get to the finish line.
The results of my second Turkey Trot race?
At last year’s Turkey Trot in Keller, TX, I finished around 43:00. This year? I’m proud of myself for hitting 37:53!!! Hey, I’ll take any minutes I can shave off!
However, what I’m MOST proud of is that for the first-time ever, I ran an entire 5K race WITHOUT stopping! So I’ll be celebrating with good food later, haha!
And on that note, I want to thank Geoff Reese for putting together and organizing the Double Oak Turkey Trot and coat drive! I had so much fun!
Now, onto the super fun stuff: Black Friday sales and discounts!
If you’re a Black Friday shopper, but don’t want to get out in the crowds, keep reading! Today’s post is chock FULL of 2018 Black Friday sales and discount codes!
Don’t get me wrong. I love a good deal/sale. I love a Black Friday deal/sale even more…from the comfort of my own home though, haha! For me, it’s not worth the long lines and traffic when I can get deals online wearing my cozy pajamas and drinking a cup of coffee or tea.
Personally, I think retailers are starting to get that people love to shop from a distance so they’re offering more for the online side as each year goes by.
