A Snowy Turkey Trot + A Reebok Giveaway

Hello, hello! I’m sure you’re all settling back into the workweek after a nice holiday last week, as am I. Lots to catch up on!

In addition to getting a lot of sleep and relaxation time in in Pittsburgh over the last week, Matt and I also got in some great workouts. On Thanksgiving morning, before our delicious feast, we did our own snowy turkey trot.

It was really cold out but beautiful.

It felt like we had the whole world to ourselves – no one was out on the roads and the snow made everything seem quiet and peaceful.

I was tempted to stop and go sledding…

We ended up covering 5 VERY hilly miles in 43:07. I was pumped about our pace given all the hills! Matt was responsible for the speed – he plays soccer a couple times a week and it keeps him speedy! I’ve been finding it hard to run fast lately after all the marathon training long, slow runs. This winter will be my time to work on speed again!

Another workout highlight from Thanksgiving break was hitting up the gym for a CrossFit-esque workout with Matt and his brother Drew. We spent about an hour lifting various heavy things and finished it off with a little basketball, just for fun (we’re all terrible at it). I rocked my new Reebok CrossFit Nano Speed custom shoes for the occasion!

Remember when I wrote last month about how you can design your own shoes on Reebok’s website? I was given the opportunity to try it out as part of my partnership with them (check out that post for a full review of the process), and my custom shoes arrived last week. They came out so cool and it was fun to make them on the site, too!

And now – Reebok is offering one lucky fANNEtastic food reader the chance to win a gift card to design your own custom shoes, too!

    Still recovering from a femoral neck stress fracture so running a turkey trot was not in the cards just yet, but I did get a sweaty spin class in Thanksgiving morning and a few more rides over the weekend along with skiing.

    My husband and I were hosting Thanskgiving for the first time this year but since we are both really big on being active and healthy we decided to prep a lot of our meal Wednesday night so we could both get a solid run/workout in before we had to start preparing the meal. Two things: 1. This made me remember to give thanks for an active husband AND one who helps in the kitchen and 2. It reminded me how thankful I am for my health and ability to run.

Was so pumped to get those two workouts in knowing I wasn't going to be home the next two days. Still feeling my muscles get used to it all.

    I spent the better part of the beginning of the week recovering from my first Ultra, the JFK 50. It was the single most difficult course I have every ran. I was able to pull myself back together by Thanksgiving morning to participate in the local 5 K with my two sons. My 10 year old finished in just under 25 minutes and I ran with my 7 year old who finished with a blistering time of 29:44! We're gearing up for a New Year's Eve run we do every year, it starts at 11:45 and everyone runs through midnight.

I ran about 52 miles last week and completed all of my strength training workouts ahead of time so that I could spend two days relaxing and catching up with my friends. We also took our children for a ride on the local Polar Express, enjoyed an adults-only meal at a delicious restaurant and topped off a wonderful weekend with high tea on Sunday afternoon. Now, on to my Christmas preparations! Glad to hear you had a wonderful holiday. :0)

    I ran in the Drumstick Dash in Indy with my cousin, whom I haven't seen in a while. We totally rocked the 4.7 mile race, with an 8:30 mile/average which is a PR for me. Then I rode horses and cleaned stalls (ready to rest my legs from CrossFit and the run).

    I got almost 19 miles in last week while on vacation in Destin, FL- I had to get in a bunch with the 40's and 50 degree temps we had down there. It was awesome! Ocean breezes definitely provide plenty of wind resistance. My favorite run was when my husband and 12 yr old son joined me, although it may have been the slowest one :)

I went to the local lululemon for 'Burn the Bird', which was an hour and a half of running, a crossfit class, and then abs/ cool down. My arms were so tired from the crossfit that I could barely hold the plank position!
