everyday there is something to be excited about.
someone to love.
something to do.
this week totally got away from me. it was crazy busy and whitney and were both sick and just so much stuff going on.
we had two meetings/parties/lunches with two local running organizations this weekend. food was good, and we love the people in our running community.
i ran the turkey trot for the fifth straight year. my plan was to "stay" with steve, he's been running for a week after 3.5 months off for back surgery. we got to mile 2 in seventeen minutes, a pace i cannot maintain and my strategy of staying with steve went out the window and i went to "plan a" which is always the same, finish and feel okay when you get done.
per usual, time was consistent with what i always run, attitude was consistent (meaning i had moments i loved and moments i hated and moments i wished i'd never started running) but when i saw steve at mile 9.5 come back to finish with me it made my race. such a happy girl when that happens.
with the 30 days of thankfulness i see on facebook i've had moments where i've thought about what i'm thankful for this month.
it has varied from the altruistic
thankful for my healthy kids
thankful for my job and benefits
to the extremely shallow and selfish
thankful for the diet coke in my refrigerator
thankful for my kinesiology tape
thankful for my dvr
thankful for two cars
i have a very blessed life. i'm very aware of that. very thankful for that. i just wish i could always be that way, and not have my moments of selfishness, self pity, self absorption, well, you get the idea. always will be working on that.
mostly, i realize that i love my life. i'm generally very happy. that is in addition to the joy i have with jesus as my savior.
Turkey Trot 2012
now i'm going to go sit on the couch and watch the music awards with steve.
have a great holiday week!
