My mom's stuffing and wine. Wine counts as a dessert, right?

I think wine counts as a meal.  My favorite meal is probably a cold savignon blanc.  Maybe that'll be my dinner tonight.  That will make the turkey trot fun tomorrow morning

Good luck in the Turkey Trot!  I haven't done one in about 3 years, which was my first one.  I had just started dating my now fiance. 

He drove me to the race and it was cold and misty so I told him he could wait in the car and meet me at the end; told him it'd be about 30 minutes (I'm not the fastest runner).  I got to the end and couldn't find him.  Went looking for him everywhere.  The parking lot, the pavilion; called his phone no answer.

I'd been sweating and after 25 minutes wandering in the cold I was now chilled and freezing.  Finally found him (I seriously think he fell asleep in the car, but he denies that) and we went home where I huddled under the covers for the next hour b/c my ass and thighs were so cold they were frozen.  We decided I had a "frozen turkey ass" and we still use that phrase often.

Thanks!  I did it last year, too.  I've been trying to do 5ks every other week until my wedding, but I developed asthma this summer and have had bronchitis twice since, so that's kind of derailed my running.

Hahaha I LOVE your story!  FI won't do 5ks with me - he's not one for running.  He's offered to walk some with me running, though.  He loves walking everywhere, and the 5ks are usually in downtown DC, so the views along the way are pretty great (I'll try to snap a couple and post them!). 

By the time I walk back to my condo, though, I'm sure I'll be absolutely freezing.  It's probably a 1.5 walk or a little more than that, but cabs are fairly hard to come by on Thanksgiving morning. I'm sure I, too, will have a frozen turkey ass lol 

To the bolded.  Mine either.  He came out with me twice while I was training and I think he felt immasculine because he couldn't keep up with me.  Hello!  I've been training for months for this; you haven't trained for running since high school probably!  He's a very good walker, but not a good runner.

Please post pics- love D.C.- gorgeous place, but I haven't been there in years!

Side: stuffing!!!! I've never met a variety of stuffing I didn't love. This year I'm making it with leeks, mushrooms, and a hearty splash of white wine.

Dessert: pecan pie *drooling*

Turkey's Trots are fun. My fiancee and I did one last year - it was our first road race! We'd only just started running about 6 months earlier. We're sitting this year's out because we're hosting dinner, which means I need to stay home to put a turkey in the oven, etc. We're signed up for a Jingle Bell 5K next month though!

I love chunky mashed potatoes, with the skin still on, and lots and lots of gravy. For dessert, hands down, pecan pie!
