Thanksgiving Recovery at Den Rock Park

After running a 5K in the morning, you feel like you've really earned your Thanksgiving day feast.  But after Thanksgiving, I still felt a little guilty from overindulging on my favorite carb-filled dishes.  As a result, on Friday morning, I pushed myself for an hour-long indoor bike ride.  My legs were tired but I definitely a little better as I made myself a Thanksgiving-leftover sandwich!

After sleeping in yesterday morning, Bret and I decided to get some exercise and fresh air by checking out a hiking trail at Den Rock Park in Lawrence. 



Den Rock Park is less than five minutes away from our home and right across the street from where I regularly do our grocery shopping.  However, I never heard of it before until my dad mentioned it to me a month or two ago.  Saturday was filled with sunshine and warm temperatures, which made it a perfect opportunity to go for a hike and work off our Thanksgiving leftovers!

Here are some photos from our hike:











What did you do to enjoy some of this beautiful New England weather this weekend?

I'm so jealous. We went for some long walks around our neighborhood (and went for a long drive to check out Wegman's), but I was saying to Jeff that I wish we were more prepared to just get up and go hiking somewhere on really nice days. We may start trying to plan better.

I'm jealous of your hike! I wanted to go hiking this weekend, but was too busy with friends in town. I'm glad you were able to enjoy the weather. Looks like you two had a blast!
