2 mile warm up, 3x1 mile with .25 mile jog between and 1x800 meter, 2 mile cool down. A total of 8.25 miles.
Good tune up and last hard work out before my big race next week.

Also just 4 of us. I just ordered a fresh duck and will make my usual balsamic glazed roast duck. Sides will probably be mashed potatoes*, shredded Brussels sprouts, orange and beet salad, and a simple pumpkin pie for dessert.
We had a "Thanksgiving in August" last summer w/ DH's family in Milwaukee. My SIL had stopped treatment for metastatic breast cancer (she died in late September) so the feast was largely for her. It was great! Side dishes were the feature, and one of my nephews made their family favorite: a pumpkin chiffon pie.
*I'm tempted to buy some turkey gravy from our local market. It's pretty good. On the other hand, there's nothing like really buttery mashed potatoes sans gravy.

make a creamed spinach with sautéed leeks and (canned are fine, just drain well and chop) artichokes. plop it into a casserole and top with crushed sour cream and onion potato chips mixed with panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, and a bit of grated cheese. bake until browned.
Awesome, thanks!. I think that could be served as an appetizer with some crusty bread, too. Mmmmm.

Sounds yummy! I'd be interested in a recipe for that spinach/artichoke/leek one.

That pumpkin cake recipe looks like a much more elevated version of this pumpkin bar recipe I modified last month. It was really easy. I substituted a cup of melted butter for the vegetable oil and used ground cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and a bit of black pepper in lieu of "pumpkin pie spice" shown in the recipe. Although it calls the dessert "bars," it's really more like a cake.
It was a sugar bomb but sooo good.
