twas the night before thanksgiving

Last night we headed down to the city to see the balloons being blown up before the htanksgiving day parade, it was really fun. it was my mom, dad, sister and stacey (my old roomie from LA who now lives in NYC) and her mom and dad. It wasn't that cold at all, as it has been in years past. if you've never seen the balloons being blown up for the parade, it truly is one of the more fun things to do in this city. we saw dora the explorer baloon, big bird, super grover, snoopy, a bunch of weebles and many others, and they're being blown up and then they're tied down under like a big military net. It looks like the balloons are trying to break free! Now that would be a site

today I ran a 5 mile run with emma and matija. It was cold and spitting rain at 8am and we wanted to not do it, but we did. I was leading the way toward the end, but in the last 1/8th of the race, my leg muscles just did not want to move and became really heavy and cold and emma and mat crossed the finish line just in front of me, only seconds, but still. Regardless, last year I walked about amile, so this year was a vast improvement! headed to jersey for t'giving with the fam, my sister in laws fam is down there, had a big meal, but even the 5 miles will barely crack a dent in the calories I've consumed!

btw how great was grey's anatomy tonight
