Thanksgiving and Gumbo

In this crazy time we are living in (Covid-19 pandemic of 2020), I have found my old blog. I have not post in over 4 years, but found some drafts I'm going to publish. I may or may not remember all the details of the pictures, but I'll do my best. I just want these out there as some documentation of my life in 2016. I plan on using this time at home to start documenting my life again. Boy how things have changed since 2016! So I'll start with this most from November 2015...


Eery full moon sky.

I guess I skinned my leg somehow. Not sure! (Where is my "I don't know" emoji?)

Turkey Trot 10K. That's it! This is where I skinned my knee. I tripped and fell while trail running. I was used to running on the pavement.

More Turkey Trot pictures. You bring canned food donations. I have never been able to run with my fiends because I stay in Hot spring the night before Thanksgiving. This particular year I forgot to pack my pants (again where are my emojis? Insert face palm emoji), so I had to go home after cooking all day Wednesday.


Duck Gumbo 2015. We lost, but had lots of fun!

The Crud

I feel like crud! I've blown my nose so much this weekend that my face is raw and red. I can't imagine how I have this much snot in me. Anyways. I didn't get my Thursday 3 miler in or my 9 mile long run this weekend. How can I run when I can't freaking breathe?!? I've been taking medicine and using my Nettie Pot, so here's hoping I feel like running towards the end of this week. So glad this is a short work week and a field trip on Wednesday. I NEED a break!!

Ballyseede Castle

   Tralle was a good stopping point from Dingle to Doolin. When looking for places to stay I came across the Ballyseede Castle Hotel. It was a little pricey, but since we had such great deals on all of the other B&Bs, I splurged. It's one of the best known Castle Hotels in Ireland, has a history dating back to the 1590’s and sits on 30 acres of native woodlands. The castle has 23 en-suite bedrooms and 3 beautiful private rooms complimented by enchanting formal gardens. To read about the history of the castle click here. We stayed in the Coghill room.   We had a nice view of the gardens. Here are other pictures from inside the castle. We had to have our picture made with the knights.   We Googled and found a restaurant in town that was supposed to be delicious. It was nestled on the shore overlooking the bay. We arrived about 5:30 and watched the sunset. The food was fabulous, however the service was not. ...

Winter Weather Cancels Marathon

This weekend was supposed to be the St. Jude Marathon in Memphis. I signed up back in June and reserved my hotel. However, mother nature had other plans. We had a round of bad winter weather that left roads iced over for several days, so they ended up canceling the race. I checked and luckily my hotel will refund me my money, while others are not. Now, I was going to complete this race, but had I trained for it? No. I've been way too busy the past few months to take hours out of my dad and weekend to run. I had a house to finish and move into and a wedding to plan and attend. Anyways. I'm thinking about running the Nashville one in April. We will see. On another note the winter weather had us trapped on our hill for four days, before the temperatures reached 32 and the ice could melt some. Kev and I definitely enjoyed spending some quality time together and had a blast sledding.
