Today was my first Thanksgiving holiday in the states in 5 years. I spent my morning running an 8 mile Turkey Trot race throughout downtown Dallas with thousands of other runners. At the packet pickup yesterday I asked how many runners were expected to show up and they said that registration was at its highest ever -- over 36,000 runners. WOW! It felt great to get my run in early in the day and to have it fit so convieniently with my current training plan (I was supposed to run a 7 mile tempo... why not go ahead and make it 8?!!).
I then spent the entire day cooking, cleaning, and more cooking... and then finally eating! My Thanksgiving feast included:
simple roasted duck
mashed potatoes
baked yams
stuffing
I'll be writing the recipes for the duck and potatoes later tonight or tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of your holiday break!
I'll be enjoying my leftovers for the next several days.

This looks amazing!! Sorry you had to eat it yourself.
I agree with what Steve said. But it looks yummy! In fact, perhaps eating alone was perfectly indulgent: quiet and satisfying. Hugs to you!
