Thanksgiving Thursday

For those of you that don't know what Thanksgiving Thursday is, it is the one time during the week where you stop and basically count your blessings. Even if you've had one of those weeks, I promise you can find at least one thing to be thankful for, no matter how big or small.

This week I am thankful for...

• Scott who holds down the fort while I train, He's also pretty amazing at foam rolling my calves.

• My little dude who is kicking butt at school and in sports.

• My little miss who is going to be my new running buddy. I had such a great day with her on Saturday getting her fitted for her first pair of running shoes.

• Family all around us.

• Friends that willingly wake up before dawn to run 11 miles with you.

• Friends who make you feel so at home you don't realize the time until the sun goes down.

• Three day weekends.

• Starbucks pumpkin spice latte k-cups (yes they make those!).

What are you thankful for this week?

Like Mother, Like Daughter

I'm marathon training...again. Oh, and by marathon, I mean Goofy. Yes, I am running a half marathon and full marathon back to back. 

I have lost my damn mind.

How did I decide to do this challenge? Well...I looked at the training schedule and said, "Oh, it's only a couple of extra walk days, this is totally doable!" 

Sure...

I should also point out I have decided to train for Goofy during the hottest summer ever. I didn't think this through. But I have to say it has been going really well and I'm looking forward to tackling another challenge. 

On top of this training my little Miss has decided to join a running club. She will be training for a 5k this winter and I am so proud of her! She has run several, including one this weekend, and I know she will be amazing (I mean, look at her!). 

So now with the Miss running I'm going to have to bump up my training even more so I can stay close to her during races. 

Challenge accepted my dear, challenge accepted.
