Thanks Giving was good. An enjoyable day. ate things I have never eaten before. like I found out that pumpkin pie was a dessert and not a side dish. I also found out that yams are sweet potatoes. I drank loads and played board games for hours. It was a good day. BUT the bad side of the day was my I lost my apparentment keys and had to search for a locksmith who was working that day of all days to let me in. I waited about 2 hours to get inside, and spend most of it on the phone to mates in the UK. another down side was I should have run 3 miles on thanksgiving after the 3rd glass of wine, I knew this was never going to happen.
Yesterday I ran 3 miles and it felt really good. OK the rest of the day was slobby, and I ended up sitting infront of the PC working on my website wich after deciding I needed to see some progress is now semi-live. ie not a single link is up.
Today I have already run 7 miles (which nearly killed me) now I am either supposed to either work on a report urgently for monday or go shopping. I know what I want to do but thats not the point

Welcome to Thanks Giving
It's the Eve of Thanks Giving.
I think more so than ever, I feel less at home. 4 days with no work which is great, but in reality that means 1 day of Thanks Giving meal with a friend and 1 day of shopping and 2 days of report writing cos missing out 2 days of work is a problem.
Hey thinking about it that doesn't sound too unlike what I hear others do over here. I guess mostly I miss family and friends more cos there is more time to think about them. I wonder how much more fun this trip would be with mates from London around. Ach there's not much longer to go 3 months maybe.
On another note I started getting training emails from Houston marathon last monday. So after 3 weeks break (ok if you ignore that one run it works out to 6 weeks break) I am back on the treadmill. It was quite hard on monday but getting easier already.
Right I have recieved a HUGE letter filled with little letters to read so fair thee well
