Brrrr...it's going to be cold for Thanksgiving and then rainy over the weekend. I may go a little crazy from too much inside time with my kids.

I was crunching some numbers and I think that I'm going to have to pass on Chicago next year. We have too many trips planned already and it just doesn't fit. 

Any AW's or brags?
Just loving the fall weather running, we got a very early snow a week ago. There was still some snow for my Friday long run and it was very pretty running through the woods on my favorite trail with the sunrise over the snowy woods and the fall colors mixed in.

Savory - I love a good sweet potato casserole with a crunchy nut topping. 

Sweet - Apple pie a la mode - my husband makes a fantastic apple pie

Looking at marathon training plans for Spring, trying to decide if I want to train hard for a PR or take the easier just finish route. The latter is not in my nature at all. This time of year is challenging for me with it being dark so early.

I found a bomb ass apartment in Paris but it has 5 flights of stairs. I'm trying to picture myself post marathon climbing up/down them and I think it's a deal breaker.

Any AW's or brags?

I lost 3 lbs last week!

Late addition: Bonus question totally forgot about Thanksgiving: What is your favorite Thanksgiving food? Savory? Sweet? Do drinks count? I  mean I love all the food but my dad makes the best old fashioneds and we usually have Irish coffee with homemade whip cream. YUM.

- I feel like I’m getting the run around with trying to figure out what’s wrong with my knee. I am also kind of pissed that my break is just as hectic and crazy as my normal week. I’m mentally exhausted.

Any AW's or brags?
- Nope

- Thanksgiving is my least favorite holiday, food-wise. I’ve never gone crazy for it. My favorite? Sweet potato casserole. No one ever makes it, but since I’m hosting this year I am going to make a giant thing of it, and not share. :-)
