Mostly I am grateful for my family, friends and a daily hot shower, but since this blog is dedicated to the active life, I'll stick to that topic, so in no particular order, here goes!
I am thankful that I can participate in the active life. It's not just the physical side though. While I am very thankful to have a fully capable body with no impediments, I am even more appreciative of the people who support me in my sometimes crazy endeavours. So to my incredible husband for letting me chase all these opportunities, my amazing friends for always listening and lining up at the start line with me, and you readers for actually reading and encouraging me to get out there and find yet more fodder for this blog, thank you!!
I am thankful that I live in a society that allows women an equal opportunity to sports. This doesn't happen everywhere and it's a shame. I am forever grateful that any time I decide to step outside for a run, I am free to do so without fear of repercussion and that there are equal recreation opportunities for my son and daughter.
I am thankful for Tuesday Night Run Club. Every Tuesday night at around 6:30, a group of runners gathers at the Run Inn in Tsawwassen. Sometimes it's a pace workout (I love you 40/20 workout) and sometimes it's a long, slow 7km but it is always one of the highlights of my week, every week. To be fair, there is a small group of us who head to the pub as a post-run ritual, which might be why I like Tuesday nights so very much.
I am thankful to live in climate where I can train outdoors year-round. Last but certainly not least, it makes me crazy happy to be able to go outside and run no matter the season. No, I don't always want to if it's below zero or above 30, but those extremes are rare, and for that, I say thank you mild West Coast weather.
That's my happy/thankful/grateful list, what's yours?
