Pausing to be thankful

 

At my post-partum appointment on Friday, I received the go ahead to resume my long-distance running. The weather was great for running this afternoon and the paths and sidewalks were clear. I took this knucklehead outside for a "short run" - which turned into SIX blissful miles. It felt great to run with the fresh air in my lungs. The pup stopped frequently to eat snow because he was thirsty. I paused and smiled frequently because I continue to be thankful. I am thankful that I have found something to be this passionate about and enjoy how it makes me feel - inside and out.
