I really went into this month trying to think what I have to be thankful for in my life. With all that goes on with the month I'm really proud that I have stuck to my guns on this thought. So in this part of my life here are a few things I am thankful for.
I am so thankful I can run. There is nothing physically stopping me from doing what I love to do without any thought. (Now if I can get over this sinus and ear infection I'm good to go.) I know being able to do this seems like a no brainer but it's really a big deal. There are a lot of people who can't hop out of bed and do ten miles or even one. To be able to run, ride, or swim is something I am really thankful for.
Where I live is a big thank you. I have tons of places to run. I have roads with lanes to run on. I have hundreds of miles of trails. I can do long tempo runs, hills, track.... you name it and I can run it. Most of the time the weather is not a problem. There is always sometime during the day when I can run and usually you will see somebody running at all times of the day around here. Which leads me that I'm thankful for living in an area where there is so many runners and running is ingrained into the community. I can a race every weekend if I want to without going any father than twenty miles. I have three running stores and two cycling stores within ten miles of me. Wow! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
And to me the most important thing to be thankful for is the support of great friends. To have so many wonderful people in your corner who love doing the things you do gives me the perfect lift I need to try all the things I love. To say lets run a marathon and to have people jump in the "lets go" is beyond great. And to have a group that really cheers for each other is the best bonus a person could ask for.
Just take a moment and think of all the things you can be thankful for in your life.
More to come.....
