It’s November and Thanksgiving is in a few weeks so the topic for today is: 5 Things Every This Runner Can Be Grateful For
We all have different reasons to be grateful and so here are 5 of mine:
1.Health and Fitness.
I always credit running as the reason that I don’t gain (much) weight and I rarely get sick. Running gets me outdoors several times each week.
Training for half marathons has also forced me outdoors for several hours each Saturday.
2.Friendships.
In addition to running each weekend, we brunch together after each run and we schedule weekly evening hikes in the summer.
By seeing each other frequently, we definitely feel more bonded and I feel that I know each runner better.
3.Race-cations.
I do run a lot of races but my favorite one each year is the one during our race-cation.
We pick a race, then rent a house (for 8-10 of us) for 4 days and plan fun activities.
fire pit s’mores is one of the highlights of the weekend
4.Age Group Awards.
As you age, you do get slower. (At least I do). The great thing about running is that your success is not compared to others who are younger and faster.
As a result, sometimes, you just have to show up.
5.My Virtual Friends
All of you who read my blog even if I have never gotten to meet you, I am thankful for your support.
Hopefully, our paths will cross in the future.
Happy Running! How are you grateful this year? Please share.
