Happy Thanksgiving to you all! I hope it's a great day for you and you spend it with the people you enjoy.

I'm going to make a couple of pies and then go out for a run. When I get home, I'll make some turkey breasts and taters. Yum! Later in the day, we'll go to Milissa & Mike's house for desserts.

Speaking of Milissa, she and I are cochairing the Teton Valley Hospital Foundation's Festival of Trees. It's the only fundraiser that the the TVHF will hold this year. Please see our ad. It's going to be a fun event with a Las Vegas theme. We will be auctioning off some beautiful trees and wreaths. For pictures of past year's Festival of Trees or this or join the group on FaceBook, Festival of Trees 2009. Come look at the trees and wreaths designed by local artists at MD Nursery (Hwy 33, Driggs, Idaho) from November 30 - December 4, 9 am to 6 pm. It's FREE, come and enjoy!!

Streaking!

Robert Opel streaking at the 46th Academy Awards ceremony.

Did I get your attention?

I'm going to see how many days in a row I can do (walk/run/crawl) one mile a day and three pull ups each day.

Why? Cause I feel like it. My friend Colleen "streaked" last year, inspired me and now I'm ready to commit to my streak.

My streak started on November 18, 2009. I'm three days into my streaking!

Do you have a streak that you're going to do, if so, post it in the comments. I want to know what your streak is.

Running analogy

My new friend Sarah, great on the uphills and finding trail!

I don't believe anymore that life is an out-and-back course. I don't believe that I've circled the cone and am headed to the finish. I don't believe that what hard will be easy in the second half.

I believe now that life is a point-to-point course and that we don't have any idea what the distance is. We don't know how far we'll have to go or what we'll find around the corner. We don't know if the next few miles or years will be flat and fast or rolling. And, for sure, we don't know where the finish line will be.
