I think non-runners are intimidated even by the 3 miles, this is a great way to participate, and also give back to your community! I also enjoyed and alarm free day or two last week. It wasn't on Thanksgiving but before and after! :) Thanks again for linking up with us!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12325341013716918783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-67491702462591646622015-12-02T14:46:24.810-06:002015-12-02T14:46:24.810-06:00Well, I hope you win my giveaway because you need ...Well, I hope you win my giveaway because you need new socks, lol!

My sleep gets all out of whack. I stay up late and sleep late. Nice job with your November plank minutes! That's pretty impressive! Good luck with the RW Holiday Streak. I would love to do it if it weren't for my marathon Saturday. I may try the Summer Streak this upcoming summer. I tried this year and only made it 17 days before getting the stomach virus. Your Christmas decorations look nice.

I think it really makes the ornaments pop! Your pie puts my pie to shame. So pretty! My socks look like yours and that is something on my Christmas list. Great job on the turkey trot. I love the idea of food donations. I appreciate you linking with us, Kimberly and hope you have a great week!

I have not got mine up yet but plan to do so Saturday afternoon with my daughters' help. Last year, I finally traded my tree in for a pre-lit one. It's not as full or tall but it's way easier. I guess I'm getting cheesier in attempts to make prep easier. I am not really ready to get rid of my fall decor yet, but the kids will insist. Although I have never done it, it seems like a run in your temperatures could feel quite refreshing. We don't really go much below 50s out here.
