Weekend Workouts - Nov. 19

[sadlebred]

What did everyone do this weekend?

BQ: What is your favorite American or Canadian Thanksgiving food or dessert? If you are outside of those countries, what is your favorite local holiday food?

[sadlebred]

Friday: Horseback riding lesson

Sat.: 22 mile easy gravel ride

Sunday: 20 mile mtb ride complete with a side Superman off the bike. My main injury are two very jammed fingers and a deep cut on my pinkie that can't get stitches. I'll be sore tomorrow.

BQ: Ummmm....all of them? I love turkey and gravy, mashed potato, sweet potatoes, apple pie, green bean casserole....

Friday: 2 mile run
Saturday: Girls on the Run 5K
Sunday: 6.5 mile run

I took a brutal fall on my run today. I was crossing a bridge and the sun got in my eyes and I tripped on an uneven sidewalk and completely wiped out. I laid there shell-shocked for a couple minutes, but miraculously aside from a 2 bloody knees and 1 bloody elbow I seem ok. I was able to run the 3 miles home, but damn, wiping out in your 40s is a different animal lol.

ETA: sorry you had a wipe out this weekend too, sadlebred!!

BQ: definitely stuffing and/or mashed potatoes with gravy!

No wipeouts this weekend, 20 miles on the bike and then a whole bunch of house projects.

I really enjoy the variety of the meal more than one part, but this is the only time all year I eat stuffing so I'd say that's what I associate most with the holiday.

scm1011 Yep! In our 40s, we have to make sure we aren't in shock, all of the extremities move, and we are actually able to get up. Thankfully there was riders about a minute behind me that stayed with me for a few minutes and gave me a pull to stand up.

Fri: 45 min elliptical workout
Sat: 4 mile run
Sun; 5k run

Ouch sadlebred, and scm1011! Wiping out is never fun, but definitely worse the older I get. Glad you are both mostly ok!

BQ: faves include mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, and apple pie. Turkey is my least fave, so I always appreciate when there’s another option!

[sadlebred]

lilypad1126 Does tofurkey count?? LOL! Years ago...like 20+ years. I was invited to a friend's house. We were both strict vegetarian at the time. She "cooked" a tofurkey, and her mom did a traditional turkey. The tofurkey was SO hard and rubbery, that she couldn't cut it. I had my first real turkey since about 1992 that night. It was sooo yummy.

sadlebred, that sounds terrible, haha. Definitely a good call to eat the real thing that night!

Friday: played with dogs
Saturday: lazy day; thought i might be getting ill
Sunday: strength and 3mi run

Sorry about the wipeouts - I'm probably due for one soon.

BQ: my grandmother's stuffing. I'd forgo the entire meal for just that.

[breezy8407]

Fri: 3.25 mile run and 30 min strength
Sat: nothing - out of town
Sun: 20 min walk

BQ: Probably stuffing for the main meal. I really just enjoy snacking all day.

Fri - off
Sat - 6 miles
Sun - spectated DD's regional cross country meet, so mostly a lot of walking

BQ:  oh gosh I can't choose.  Potatoes and stuffing with gravy, rolls, pies, bring it all on.
