Thanksgiving Leftovers and Runfessions

November 27, 2025 Leave a Comment

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with family, friends, and of course plenty of good food. After we relax and count our many blessings, it’s time once again to open the runfessional. Because time waits for no one and, like it or not, December is right around the corner.

Thanksgiving Leftovers and Runfessions

It was a double Thanksgiving kind of year here. While it was technically the in-laws’ turn to host Thanksgiving, I runfess I had an additional gathering for my extended family the weekend before. With so many nieces and nephews in from college, I felt it was necessary to gather while everyone was home and gather we did.

It’s been so much fun to have our kids home with us this week. With a nasty winter storm looming in the forecast this weekend, it looks like it may be a struggle for them to fly out. I runfess the thought of them having to stay longer makes me smile.

I runfess the leftovers in the title of this post are the only Thanksgiving leftovers I’ll see this year. A certain brother, who shall remain nameless, finds it impossible to respond when he is invited somewhere. I typically take his non-responses as a no, and he doesn’t join us. This year however, he arrived with teenaged sons in tow and lets just say the Thanksgiving table was pretty much wiped out. C’est la vie.

And finally, I runfess that my workouts have been inconsistent at best lately. With all the airport runs, get-togethers, and time with family and friends, life gets in the way and I’m not upset about it. Gym-time will be there when the dust settles.

Okay your turn. What have you to runfess? How do you deal with people who do not respond?

marciashealthyslice I'm a working mom who, as part of a mid-life challenge, decided to run a marathon for kicks. I didn't plan on it becoming a hobby, but it did. I qualified for Boston at my second marathon and finished the 6 World Marathon Majors in London in 2019. Set no small goals. You never know what you're capable of until you try!
