I can't believe it is already the end of November and another Thanksgiving is shortly upon me. This time last year we were picking up the pieces from Hurricane Sandy, my cousin got married and I was seeing the Thanksgiving Day Parade for the first time live.
Since I last posted, my days have been filled with school, birthdays, cornhole league, another race, work and various other random days that fill my days.
My November race was the Running Festival of Lights/ Chanukkah Gelt 5K in Bay Ridge Brooklyn. It was a cold and windy morning to begin with, but running along the water multiplied that by 5. As I stood there with Josh and Michelle, I began to really contemplate my insanity for doing this race. But as I reminded myself I committed to this New Years resolution of a completing a race a month and was determined to finish whether I ended up running it or not. Overall, I managed to run it at a slower pace due to asthma kicking in but managed to still complete the run under 40 minutes with a gorgeous view of the Verazzano Bridge.
Cornhole was blast playing with Janssen, Nicki and my friend Stan from Zog kickball. Even with it being a small division, we managed to have fun, make friends and win bar champs!
Can't believe it's December in two days, with Thanksgiving being so late this year everything seems to be going by a lot faster. With the last month of the year upon me, I can't believe what 2013 has brought me. Stay tuned for my last race for 2013, the Placerita Canyon Holiday 5K at the Master's College in Santa Clarita California. I am so happy to be ending my new years resolution how I started it, by running a race with my sister.
