The Little Things
September 18, 2014

Happy Thursday! Before we go any further, I want to say happy birthday to my littlest brother (the soccer one)! I’m really missing him being around this year, as he just graduated and moved away in May. Happiest Birthday little brother! Here’s what I’m thankful for today:

I’m thankful for my littlest brother: Not only is he definitely the comedian of the family, but he’s a wealth of knowledge when it comes to fitness and exercise. I appreciate this so much, and really value all the help that he’s given me over the last few years. I appreciate the encouragement I’ve received from him as I try to get stronger and healthier physically. I’m loving watching him pursue his soccer dreams too! 🙂

I’m thankful for the free hour and a half I got to sit in the massage chair this past weekend. I ran 7 miles, then went with Melissa to go get her hair done (and get something for myself touched up). Her aunt, who cuts both of our hair, asked if I wanted to sit in the pedicure chair and use it while I waited. Ummmm- yes please! I sat there and blogged, read a magazine, and talked to another woman who is also training for Monumental, all while getting my shoulders and back massaged. It was pretty fantastic. I need to figure out a way to get something like that every week after my long runs 🙂

I’m thankful for a really great long run this week. I wish that every person had the opportunity to experience a run that feels like that one did- I think everyone would want to run if they could 🙂 These are the sorts of runs where everything comes together really well and gives me confidence for race day!

I’m thankful that Melissa helped me find a great list of songs for my next barre playlist… and that she was willing to be my guinea pig in trying it out! Making this playlist has been looming over my head, and I knew it needed to be done by this coming Monday. Last Sunday afternoon we finally sat down and listened to songs to try to find the right beats to fit each type of exercise in the barre class. Then she willingly went along as we tried out a shortened version of the class using half of each of the songs. I can’t wait to use it in class now!!

I’m thankful that Kraft Cheese has 0g of lactose! It makes this lactose intolerant’s heart oh so happy!! I love being able to make most of the things that I enjoy, even though I can’t have most dairy.

Now it’s your turn to share! What are you feeling thankful for today?
