I somehow have the energy to post this, but I really don’t know how. I am flippin’ tired. I can’t stop yawning.
Let’s see. Yesterday was Thanksgiving. I got my day going around 7am. The Turkey Trot started at 9am, so I had to get up early to start stretching. I can’t express to you how important stretching has become for me. I remember when I was younger that I would do stuff without stretching, and generally had no problems. Now if I don’t stretch before doing a physical activity, then the next day I feel more like 53 instead of 33.
Anyway, I did the 4 mile Turkey Trot. It wasn’t that bad. Pain was minimal, and I didn’t come in last. So mission accomplished! 
Of course, my Dad ran it with me and beat me by 4 minutes. In my defense, he’s always been a runner. I, on the other hand, have to work at it. I wish I had some pics to share, but there just wasn’t a good opportunity for photos. But to help you visualize, I look pretty damn good with a piece of paper saftey pinned to my shirt with a four digit number on it. I’m just sayin’.
So when I finished the Trot, I went home, showered, and did the Thanksgiving thing. That pretty much consists of eating and then watching football, with a couple of naps in between. But for whatever reason, I didn’t nap (I know, the Apocolypse). I didn’t get into bed until 11:30pm. And that lasted four hours, because I had to make a run at Black Friday. Hey, I hate shopping. Let me be clear about that. But some deals you have to jump on.
So, I went. I purchased. I got breakfast. Then I came into work. Yes, I am at work today. It was my turn this year to do the day after Thanksgiving. So here I am, rubbing my eyes, yawning, and re-typing all my typos. I need sleep like Ben Affleck needs acting lessons.
Looking forward to some ZZZZZs…
