I'm thankful that I didn't have anything to whine about yesterday!
I am also thankful that I am meeting a friend for a track workout this evening. It seems like I'm finally getting back into the swing of things after taking more than a month off.

I am thankful my injury is over and I can run again. It's been so easy cardiovascularly that I want to pinch myself. I want to run more mileage but I know I need to build.
Also thankful I'm back to goal weight.
Our dog has been going on all my runs with me and while she's a horrible walker she's actually a great runner and it burns a lot of her energy. She is two and acts like a puppy.

I am thankful that my friend convinced me to start a clean eating and exercise plan. I am feeling so much better, inside and out, and I'm slowly dropping the weight I've been carrying around for way too long, and gaining some muscle, too!
Also, for my husband who supports all of my healthy living endeavors, whether it's switching up our eating or travelling with my to wherever for races. And my son who is my constant cheerleader.
And for a week at work with no students. I've been super busy trying to get paperwork done, which never happens when I have students popping in and parents calling constantly.
Despite my whining yesterday, I am SO thankful. SO freaking thankful that I got to the mental place where I was ready to make big lifestyle changes 2 years ago. It's paying off. There is a hill by my house. It's about a 7-7.5% grade for 1.2 miles. Last summer I would have said it was a stretch goal for me to run the hill at any pace, and I was too intimidated to even try it until the Fall. Now, I incorporate it into every one of my long runs and yesterday I even put it into my pace run. I can't believe that not only can I climb the hill without walk breaks, but I am getting faster doing it. I was super proud of my pace run yesterday.
And I'm thankful for my H. Yesterday he told me he had been dairy free for several weeks and I was really shocked! Other than getting rid of dairy in the dinners I make at home, I put zero pressure on him at all to make changes in his out-of-the-house diet, because I know lunches out with colleagues can be hard. I'm super proud of him. I'm pretty sure it was Rich Roll's fault since he listened to Finding Ultra on Audible. Now I hope Rich can convince my H about my bike
I am thankful that my 245 and 315pm patients cancelled (siblings) so I can finish the eval report I need to write up. I should probably get off GBCN, huh?
I'm thankful that, due to my husband and family's support, this first marathon plan is really coming together! I settled on a race that's in an awesome coastal city here, that my DS should enjoy. Plan calls for a half marathon? Boom! There's one in town, and I made in before it filled up and with early bird pricing. H has to be OOT for work? Boom! My parents are going to do a few overnights with me so that I can get up early and run, and not have to do it all during my busy work day.
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.
I am thankful for holiday mint m&m's. My sister bought up a ton after Christmas and I still have 3 bags left.
I am also thankful for wonderful friends and husband who have supported me this week as I have been in the depths of marathon training. It has been tough but an extra rest day has helped a lot.
