I’m actually most thankful that the Miami Marathon and trip to Miami are done and behind me. I’m thankful that I can sleep in on Saturday and change my training to include swimming and biking again. I may even throw in a crossfit style class or hot yoga again here and there. I’m just thankful to have my life back. Ha!
Of course this isn’t to say I’ll stop running because we all know how much I love it and I have some cool races coming up. But it is a lovely time for me to get in some other activities I enjoy. Like having a glass of wine on a Friday night again! Yes, I could have done some of this stuff before but I actually like to take my training seriously and when I’m in it, I thrive on it.
Thus far this week I’ve been kind of a garbage disposal and I’m enjoying this recovery period. I do plan on swimming in the morning and getting in a short run on Saturday. But not until 8 AM! Hooray! After my run I’m gonna lay by the pool and again be so thankful that marathon number six is in the books and I’ve got nothing but a bright future ahead of me. Pass the sunscreen please.
What are you thankful for today?
Nothing better than that nice "ahhhh" after a marathon! Enjoy it.
I am big time thankful that I ran without pain today!
Enjoy the time off! It's so nice to have time to mix things up a bit with swimming, biking, etc.
Do you make these pics up or do you google this stuff? Seriously?
Enjoy the time off but just so you know Dolly called El Diablo to tell him that she was lonely…..jus sayin'

I'm thankful Morgan isn't injured and we can climb stairs again today. In fact, she's on her way over here now.
I'm thankful for *NOT* HAVING TO SHOVEL MY DAMN DRIVEWAY EVERY DAY!!! WHO HOOOOOOO!!!!
I'm thankful for my cats, because they are always there to greet me when I get home, and their first response to my presence is not "What's for dinner," but "meow!"
I'm thankful for this awesome weather! We can do anything outside right now if we please. 🙂
Wait until you become even more of a triathlete! Then you don't stop doing the other events – you still do them 2-3 times a week, but you FOCUS on the one you are racing next. (usually the running in the winter!) Have fun sleeping in (and on Friday night!)
Enjoy your time off and all the cross-training. You definitely deserve some time to relax after a marathon.
"I'm thankful that I can sleep in on Saturday…"
What? I thought for sure you would be doing the Michelob Challange at Gasaparilla!
New to your blog, and love it already….
today, I am thankful I have a good job, no matter how tired I am at the end of the day…yet mostly as always I am thankful for my family!
I love bill murray….and that picture made me think of my FAVE movie of his "CANNONBALL! CANNONBALL COMING!"
I am thankful that the Miami race is over as well, and that I survived without injury. My shoes however did not. So, I am also thankful for my new pair of running shoes!
Because it's a blizzard out there I'm thankful for my nice hot cup of coffee!
