WOW, completely forgot about the shopping sales today. Still have family here so I'll probably wait until cyber monday to do all my shopping :)

I'm more a Cyber Monday person. I don't like waiting in long live or fighting over a pair of shoes lol I'd rather do my shopping from the comfort of my own bed. And Congrats on the 5k. Good way to burn off all the Thanksgiving turkey.

Yess thanks!

Congrats! I'm usually pretty into fitness but I cannot even imagine running on Thanksgiving. I am in full-on lounge and leftovers mode.

No fr and that’s my norm! This was definitely a first 😂😂

I'm waiting for Cyber Monday. I'm hoping to find some good deals! I need a new laptop and there are some that have caught my attention so far.

Yeaa it’s the crowdss .. give me anxiety so I feel you

Congratulations! That must have been a big achievement for you. That's another thing to be thankful for, having a sound mind and body to run for 5k. Anyways, I'm saving my wishlist for Cyber Monday.

Thank you! It definitely felt good to try it was my first time and I never got a metal before loll I am not a athlete by any means 😂🤦🏽‍♀️ so it was Big

Way to go, OP! That must've been such a big deal for you. I wish I could say I've also been productive over Thanksgiving, but sadly my routine has only been eat, sleep, repeat for the past few days. How does it feel for you?

like

This was a Big deal because I am not a runner at all but the race was at 9am so it gave me some amazing energy that morning it was actually great. I think I’m going to make it a tradition not gone lie. And the monies was for charity surrounding young mothers it was nice

I ran my very first 5k as well! It was so challenging yet it amazed me how my mind and body could have taken all that. It really made me feel so good and confident. I felt like I'm on top of the world! Congratulations to us, OP!

uplifting

Omg yesss Congratulations!! We experienced same feelings! Will you move on to 10k? We have to! 💪🏽🎉🤩

Congratulations

Thanks!
