Let's not talk about the extra baggage apparent in this morning's weight check, but instead consider how the 21 miles I ran from Thursday to Sunday did not counteract the foods and beverages I packed in over that same period.
Thursday: The Enthusiast and I ran three miles together and then I tacked on another four miles before we went to eat.
Miles: 7
Menu: Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, Brussels sprouts with pancetta, pecan pie with Cool Whip, Laphroaig, Great Lakes Christmas Ale
Friday: A six-miler before a "friends Thanksgiving."
Miles: 6
Menu: More turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, salad, cupcake, Bell's Sparkling Ale, Great Divide Hibernation Ale
[Drunkard's note: Apparently, I was too drunk to recall that I also had some Peanut Butter Cup Coffee Porter from Willoughby Brewing Co.]
Saturday: Friends over for dinner, but no running because I wanted to play my banjo instead.
Miles: Does old-time banjo count as cross training?
Menu: Roasted chicken, artichokes, potatoes, salad, German chocolate cake, Hibernation Ale, Sparkling Ale, Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald
Sunday: First longish run in ages before a birthday celebration with cake and dinner with leftover pie.
Miles: 8
Menu: Deli sandwiches, various appetizers, birthday cake, pork tenderloin, potatoes, peas (ick!) with mushrooms (yum!), pecan pie with Cool Whip, Laphroaig
I guess I don't need to concentrate on adding winter weight.

You forgot the Willougby Brewing Company Peanut Butter somethingorother beer on Friday! :-D
Founds sun.
Some of that sounds like fun ...
It's interesting where we draw the line between "long run" and the other runs - I prettymuch draw it where you did. 7 miles just doesn't feel long enough to make it count as a longish run, while 8 does. Which is weird as there's only a mile difference!
Happy running! Soundsl ike delicious food.
Two thumbs up for the new blogs of woe sidebar. I'm hoping the Brownies don't lose the #1 pick by winning a couple games. We need to blow the draft like we always do: by picking the wrong player on draft day.
There was running involved, that doesn't sound fun at all.
OMG! That sounds awesome!!!! :) I hope you had a great time this Turkey Break! It sounds like so...much....fun! ROFL!!!!!! Only 25 more days till Christmas! OMG!!!
What's your drama with peas? Peas are great...mushrooms, however, are grown in poop.
