Grateful

Uh... runs the day after Thanksgiving never go very well. :) I could feel every ounce of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, rolls, pie, etc. that I consumed on Thanksgiving when I went on a short 3 miler today. But of course, I don't regret one single morsel that I ate...well maybe that second piece of the caramel apple pie, 4 helpings of dessert may have put me over the top. :) Hopefully my 12 mile run tomorrow will be okay. But I just don't think I'll be able to turn down leftovers today. Me and Josie were a little sluggish but it is hard to not enjoy running in this amazing weather. I just hope it stays through tomorrow....rain in the forecast and I would be so bummed if great weather all week ended on Saturday when I will be running for almost 2 hours.

A couple nights ago A Bear and I watched a special on The Biggest Loser. Now I love this show and I watching these people make amazing changes in their lives but after this one it made me so grateful for my body and that I am able to run. Sometimes I think I take it for granted being able to be phsycially active but there are so many people who can't be. And while I know some of this is due to personal decisions, I also know some of it is hereditary and because of major obstacles they have faced. I am very grateful for a healthy body. With running I am also grateful for my new runnings pants, running shoes for over pronators, and beautiful fall weather. This year of course so thankful for a healthy baby boy, who is active as can be and a husband who started going to spin classes because he loves me. I have an amazing life.
