Happy Thanksgiving!

November 24, 2011 by Kristy 10 Comments

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!
