I woke up early and donned an outfit of spandex:
I posed for pre-race pictures with friends, in the 28 degree sunshine!
I ran 5 miles in 46:34, a PR for my first 5-miler 🙂 Oh, and the ocean views were gorgeous!
I came home and watched the parade with my lively and loving family:
I eventually took a shower and got dolled up:
I went into the garage to enjoy the food and family, under the Christmas lights:
I filled my plate with GF pork stuffing, brussels sprouts, kale, sqaush, and turkey, of course! With soup and sangria on the side 🙂
I raised a glass to my wonderful family who have loved and supported me, especially in the ups and downs of the last two years:
I looked over at my grandparents and was thankful that they have been there for so many of the big events of my life:
I admired and was thankful for my good genes, as proof by my 93 year old Grammy:
And I witnessed a pardoned turkey and that put a smile on my face:
Unphotographed was the two servings of gluten- and dairy-free pumpkin pie and pear and cranberry crisp that I gobbled up 🙂
Tell me: what did you do to be thankful this year?

Mindfully Emily
