I’m sure we’ve all been flooded with the “I’m thankful for… “ facebook posts and co-worker comments the past three weeks. Sure, I’m thankful for friends, family, my job, my puppy, boot camp, good food….. all that stuff. But here’s one you may not hear often. I’m thankful for running. I’m thankful for my good health that allows me this opportunity. In the few months running has really changed my life. It’s been an emotional outlet. I run when I’m happy. I run when I’m sad. I run when I’m stressed. I run to hang out with my friends. I run when I’m bored. I run when I want to eat Krispy Kreme donuts…. I don’t really need a reason to run… I just love doing it.
I’m really excited to be running the Atlanta Thanksgiving Half Marathon for the first time tomorrow morning. I know the race starts near Turner Field and winds through the city. But other than that, I don’t really know what to expect. I’m sure there will be plenty of hills, because it’s Atlanta, so hey, why not?
