10 Things- Happy Thanksgiving!

November 28, 2024 by Stacy McAllister in Weekend Things

Happy Thanksgiving! I’m thankful for a renewed commitment to blogging (even if no one actually reads this) and my family. It’s been a challenging and heavy few years in a lot of ways, but there has also been a larger sense of growth in all aspects of my life (thanks to also finding an exceptional therapist too). I also only think of Thanksgiving and this Friends episode:

I haven’t done a ‘10 Things’ post in some time, so here are 10 things happening in my life right now. No Turkey Trots for me today, but I will be getting in some morning miles and strength training before we’re hosting around 15 people at our house. Here’s to hoping our Turkey comes out OK!

Currently listening to on repeat this song:

Currently reading:

Currently obsessed with our new coffee maker:

Currently reading everything there is to know about NYRR United Airlines Half!!!:

Currently trying to PR my 45-minute Peloton PR from taking an in-person class the beginning of the month:

Currently listening to ‘Let It Go’ on repeat and researching Frozen-related things to make an amazing 3-year old birthday party:

Currently wondering why I never go into modeling (since clearly I definitely had a knack for it):

Currently counting down until Christmas when we can give the girls this Dollhouse:

Currently researching how expensive it would be to move our entire family (& extended family) to Canada (LOL…kidding…mostly….Well- Vancouver would be cool!):

Currently having my coffee in this mug (& completely obsessed with it):

What are some of your ‘currently moments’ from the past week?

Happy Monday! I’m multitasking over here today with some easy indoor cycling and blogging (also have put in my to-go grocery order). Anyone else feel like multitasking is the only way you get some things done?!?

We’ve been bus over the weekend with our new puppy, Sadie! We adopted her on Thursday and she is a terrier/husky mix. She is the absolute cutest.

She also gives the BEST puppy snuggles.

Ran my 9th Marathon yesterday! It wasn’t the time goal I was necessarily capable of, but still thankful to have been able to finish it without any major injuries and under 4 hours.

Looking forward to testing out the new Puma Running Shoes! They sent me some to test out and I’ll make sure to write-up a full recap when I’m able to get 50 miles on them. The color is SO BEAUTIFUL 😻

The best husband award definitely goes to Alex. Made me dinner last night and drove us home from the race too.

Sorry I’m not sorry for all of the puppy photos. She’s basically the queen of our household now.

Finally starting to burn through all of the downed trees we collected over the winter and Sadies here for the large bucket of water in case our fire gets out of control.

-How was your weekend?!? Tips for having a new puppy and getting the cats adjusted to her? She’s 10 weeks old.

Happy Monday! We had a great weekend and it’s back to work for me until Thursday. The weather was beautiful out- you know, just those sunny bluebird 50-degree Spring days.

Maple was here for the weather too.

Challah bread French toast and bacon to start off our Easter Sunday

Also had great running weather too 🤩

Also met a new future member of our furry family!

We hope you had a great weekend and only 5 more days until we get another one!

Happy Monday! Better late than never right?! I slept for 13 hours last night- I blame the time change. Anyone else have trouble adjusting when we lose an hour of sleep? I also always seem to work the day after we adjust our clocks. Maybe someday I’ll learn my lesson! At least it’s (mainly) starting to feel like Spring here.

Also had the windows open on our front porch last week and I wasn’t the only one excited about the warmer temperatures.

Also- finished this book last week. Super good book, but The Nightingale is still my favorite Kristin Hannah book.

I’ve also officially got my first running sock tan and am pretty excited about that.

Looking forward to a few more long runs hopefully on trails in the next couple of weeks.

VERY MUCH looking forward to the day where I don’t have to wear a mask for 12+ hours at work.

Laundry with a side of binging Schitts Creek completed my few days off of work. Also- Brady is obsessed with laundry baskets. Anyone else’s cat love baskets and boxes?

Happy Monday! It was a short weekend for me since I worked Saturday and am back to work tonight, but very thankful for 7 sunshine-filled easy miles .

Also got to go skiing for the afternoon yesterday at Shawnee Peak. It was super busy, so we did a few runs and then called it a day. Loved being able to just go for a few hours and enjoy the sun.

Also anyone else love to do some blueberry pancakes with peanut butter and some with butter and maple syrup?!? Definitely a favorite combo for me.

These are some good stats from Strava for the month of February! I love to see how many days I’ve been active. I’m not running everyday, but I’m still getting in some movement most days.
