Thank You, Running

DSC01550

Thank you for the early mornings

The late afternoons

For getting me outside in the rain

And the cold.

For all the extra fresh air

And sunshine

For the breaks when I needed them most

The added energy

The music

Or the silence

The chance to be social

Or solitary

Thank you for being my muse,

and for teaching me patience

For proving I can keep going

When I want to stop

Go faster

When I want to slow down.

Thank you, running

For making me strong

In a quiet way

That gets me step by step

Through life.

Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone

    My daughter and I just got back from a Turkey Trot 5K.

    1. I can’t WAIT until my sons are old enough to run with me, if they want to! What a great way to get energized (and work up an appetite!) for Thanksgiving 🙂
