Thanksgiving Day

The Annual Team Texarkana Runners/Triathletes Thanksgiving run and breakfast was held this morning over on the Texas-side. We gather for a 6-miler each year, followed by a pretty hefty breakfast as seen below. Ever since the Marine Corps Marathon, I've been nursing a strained calf, which is a pretty convenient excuse to have in your pocket when you run alongside runners 30 pounds lighter. One of our members just finished Ironman Arizona, and several others are preparing for the Athens-Big Fork Trail Marathon in the Ouachitas in January, so it's an ambitious and motley group.



We're having our family Thanksgiving dinner here in a couple of hours.

Update: And what a feast it was. We capped it off with a win by the Cowboys, and now I'm going to settle in and watch Texas and A&M. Hopefully, Arkansas can end the season on a high note tomorrow against LSU. Saw plenty of LSU flags flying on cars driving up from the Bayou this afternoon.

I have a lot to be thankful for, and it was a good day spend with family. Hope you enjoyed yours.
