Thanksgiving and Holiday Concert

Monday, November 25th, concert band, concert band, concert band!  It was an all day fest of rehearsals getting ready for the big holiday concert.

19023 Steps (8.27 miles)

Tuesday, November 26th, was more concert band rehearsals and meetings.  Plus Navy Club.

8413 Steps (3.66 miles)

Wednesday, November 27th, was the last day of my week!  We had concert band and other training and then after work I went over to Dan’s with Sam.  Sam made us a spaghetti squash spaghetti (which was really good!) and I made lots of pies for Thanksgiving!  1 Apple, 2 pecan and 4 pumpkin pies.

12887 Steps (5.60 miles)

Thursday, November 28th, I got up and ran in the morning with Sam and Dan (we had to earn all the food we were going to eat!)  We went over to another friend’s house (with all the pies!) where there was a ton of food and good times!  I was kind of out of it though since it was my first Thanksgiving without any family and I was pretty bummed out.  I went to another friends afterwards and we watched Grizwold’s Christmas Vacation.

19799 Steps (8.61 miles)

Friday, November 29th, I got up early and took a coffee to my friend, Ed, who was working the radio station special for Black Friday.  Apparently they do do Black Friday on post and it is a bit scary.  I listened to it at the radio station and then got to Skype to family!  Later in the day I went for a run and got lost (twice) and ran nearly 9 miles by accident.  Later I went to a Black Friday party hosted by one of the guitar players in my band and his wife.

29632 Steps (12.89 miles)

Saturday, November 30th, I was completely lazy all day long.  Which was perfect since I was all mopey from the holidays.

4165 Steps (1.81 miles)

Sunday, December 1st, was our Korean-American Friendship Holiday Concert extravaganza!!!  We got to work fairly early to have a quick rehearsal and then rolled out to the Seoul Arts Center (which is a phenomenal venue – it is called the Carnegie Hall of Korea.)  The dressing room had these great lounge chairs which we took full advantage of.  The sound check took forever so we were a bit rushed to change, but the concert went really well.  I even had a few friends come which was awesome J Afterwards we had to wait around for the dog and pony show with the General but oh well.  After we got back to post, I went out with Sam, Herold and Dan to this amazing burger place.  Seriously, it was amazing!!!  I ate way too much and it was worth it!
