This morning I did my own version of a Turkey Trot – 6 miles with a super tight hamstring. So yes, I definitely was trotting. I left my Garmin at home and instead just enjoyed being outside on a beautiful morning. I thought about what I’m thankful for, big and small, and noticed 2 distinct groupings: people and running. Here goes…
My family: they are wonderful and healthy. I won’t get to spend today with them but I will see my parents next weekend.
My in-laws: Matt is the youngest of seven so there’s lots of them! I have never met such nice, genuine, and welcoming people.
Matt: see above about in-laws; the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
My friends: I’ve been friends with some for 25+ years (eek!); others surprise you at Mile 25 of a marathon.
Hawk: every day he makes us laugh.
Qualifying for Boston: 9/11/11 was the second best day of my life.
Running: it has changed my life and I cannot imagine my life without it.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
