The Little Things
February 13, 2014

Happy Thursday!! I hope you all have been enjoying the week, and have had a bit of time to watch the Olympics šŸ™‚ Hereā€™s what Iā€™m thankful for right now:

Iā€™m thankful for the Olympics!Ā This week has been extra fun due to the hours of Olympic footage that Iā€™ve watched. I love the suspense and friendly competition. February also tends to be the month that drags the most for me, so Iā€™m extra thankful that the Olympics are in February.

Iā€™m thankful for the cold that leads to sunshine.Ā Iā€™m not used to having so many sunny days in the winter, but if I have to take the colder weather to get it, then Iā€™m not complaining. The colder the day, the more likely we are to have sunshine it seems, and Iā€™m thankful for it!

Iā€™m thankful for treadmills.Ā This past weekend I did my longest ever treadmill run at 4.6 miles. While I certainly donā€™t love running on the treadmill and canā€™t wait to get to training on actual pavement (like Iā€™ll be running on during the race), Iā€™m thankful that treadmills do exist. The roads I live on/by have had ice on them for over two weeks now, and even when I walk I slip and slide around. Running isnā€™t really safe, so Iā€™m thankful that treadmills exist and that I have access to them at the gym (even if I donā€™t particularly like them).

Iā€™m thankful for hot chocolate.Ā Like I mentioned earlier this week, I really missed being able to drink hot chocolate once I became lactose intolerant. Being able to make my own mix has been wonderful, and Iā€™m thankful that I stumbled upon the original recipe.

Iā€™m thankful for snow days!Ā I had a snow day last week, and while it added a slight complication with work, Iā€™m really glad that I had that time off. The day was relaxing but I got a few things checked off my ā€œto doā€ list that really needed to be done!

Now itā€™s your turn to share! What are you feeling thankful for right now? Has the weather prevented you from working out outdoors?
