I am thankful for my incredible running group and that nearly 2 years ago I decided to take a chance and sign up to be a leader (it's a free & national group with local chapters all over). At the time, I was a brand new runner and in the middle of a pretty big weight loss journey. It was scary but I knew it would help keep me motivated...so I did it. Fast forward and my old group is thriving. I moved and initiated a group in my new location which is also thriving. The support I get from those ladies is absolutely fantastic and I have made some great friends too. I am thankful for them and the group in general, every single day.
I took a week off from morning workouts last week, and I'm very thankful that I'm right back in the swing of the routine this week despite DST. Doing TF, and also starting to just feel more fit, even if the numbers aren't changing that much yet.
I'm thankful for no pain and for a body that feels almost normal.
DH comes home tonight!
I'm thankful my neurologist approved using the stationary bike even though other cardio is banned for a long time This will help keep me sane!
My left eye has been abnormal since the wreck and I started seeing lightning flashes in it so I had to get that checked out. I am so thankful my retina was still okay and everything else checked out healthy. I just have to be aware of worsening symptoms which is totally okay with me.
I am both very thankful and utterly terrified that I'm down to one week til match day. On Monday I'll get an email telling me if I matched or not, and Friday I'll find out where. So right now I am also thankful for wine.
I'm thankful for a totally uneventful long run today. I just started my watch, and ran for as long as I was slated to run. Last week, I struggled so much and was in the fast downhill spiral of the IM roller coaster, and so it was so nice to have a long run today that was just fine. It was not fast, the weather was not beautiful, but it was just fine. I am not doomed after all! lol
