Goals
Spoiler alert…I accomplished a HUGE GOAL today! I ran the Philadelphia Half Marathon! More details coming later this week, but I couldn’t resist sharing one picture from the race this morning.
- Enjoy time spent with family over Thanksgiving. Looking forward to a restful long weekend filled with yummy food, shopping and friends and family!
- Be smart about resting after the half marathon. I’m planning on doing the Gobble Wobble 5K on Thursday for Thanksgiving with my sister, but I plan to take it easy all week leading up to that.
- Start my Christmas shopping! The holidays are just around the corner, and true to my typical self, I haven’t even started thinking about it yet.
