Happy Thanksgiving to all those celebrating it. Keeping with tradition, I’ve decided to put off hosting the weekly Complaints & Confessions Thread and substitute it with something a little better this week.
So, instead of complaining or talking about the things that have been weighing heavy on your mind, let’s take a moment to jot down a comment or two about the things we’re thankful for or anything that you otherwise want to rave about. Doesn’t necessarily have to be running oriented either.
Spread some joy, share some love, and let’s hear what you’re thankful for.
Thankful for a gorgeous morning to get a couple of miles in before I start cooking my turkey (first time ever, wish me luck!)
Thankful to have discovered running. A few weeks ago I was looking at an old Instagram post - it was one of those prompt challenges and this one was something like “what is your body telling you?” I had written that my body was telling me I needed to move. At that time I was pretty much sedentary but I knew that wasn’t helping me - I’m a preeclampsia survivor and I knew I needed to start doing more to support my heart health. I started out with lifting weights and then later that summer I got into running. I never could have imagined that a year and a half later I would be running multiple times a week and loving it. What a joy.
Babies, it is so nice to read your story. I hope your run was great (I’m about to go on my own quiet 5k Turkey Trot around my neighborhood before the cooking begins as well!)
