Thankful Things Thursday: For Safety, Pride & Resilience
Well today’s edition of Thankful Things Thursday should be pretty easy, huh? After all that’s happened this week, I’m feeling extraordinarily grateful, so please allow me to let it all out. I’m thankful for the safety of my friends and loved ones. With so many homes destroyed and an increasing number of lives lost after […]
Thankful Things Thursday: It’s Been A While
Somewhere in between the madness of traveling, working and more working, I’ve seriously neglected the Thankful Things Thursday tradition. But the “holiday” lives on! And today I’m back with plenty of things to be grateful for. So without any pithy stories, let’s get on with it. I’m thankful this marathon taper isn’t making me crazy. […]
Thankful Things Thursday: The Worst Is Probably Over
Since coming back to work on Tuesday, I’ve taken a bit of an ass-kicking. I know: two whole days at the office, OMG! But because I felt slightly better on Tuesday than I did a week — or even three days — before, I figured I could go back to my “normal” routine and I’d […]
Thankful Things Thursday: Keeping On
Monday was a rock-bottom day for me. While it wasn’t the worst day I’ve ever had physically, on the emotional side it was definitely among the toughest I can remember. I cannot ever remember a time in my life when I just felt so defeated and couldn’t get the words “I can’t do this anymore” […]
Thankful Things Thursday: For The Good Days
I had huge plans for today. I was going to tell you about how I’d just had three mostly great-feeling days in a row, and I was going to tell you about how I went running this morning and stuff. Yay! Well… Slight change of plans. Instead, I’ll tell you about how I really did […]
Thankful Things Thursday: It Gets Better
That’s what I keep telling myself. When things suck, it’s because they’re eventually going to be awesome again. For a very long time, I had no complaints in life. These days, I have quite a few, most of which revolve around that nice “Crohn’s” word. But I am trying so, so hard — in between […]
Thankful Things Thursday: On Powering Through
These next few weeks are all about stamina. On the running front, sure. I will need stamina to excel in my training. I like Excel spreadsheets. But also, I will need stamina to get through the crazy work schedule coming up, the social “obligations” and the early morning/late night combos. So much for the whole […]
Thankful Things Thursday: Working & Blogging From Home
Last night I had a dream that I was running late to get somewhere. Then, back in real life, I got out of bed this morning, turned on the TV, and saw all this footage of Stonehenge. WTF is happening? Two of my greatest fears: being late and Stonehenge. Clearly I need to refocus and […]
Thankful Things Thursday: Let Freedom Ring…At The Beach
Hello! I went running this morning. I ran six slow miles, and for each of those miles I had to make an urgent, awful bathroom stop. So great, right? And so instead of telling you about my sad little run — yeah I got the miles in, but do you know how stressful it is […]
Thankful Things Thursday: Rainbowtown
You know those weeks where everything is sparkly and wonderful, and things fall into place and your whole life just feels so magical, like you’re riding around on a unicorn, with glitter on its horn, and you’re riding by rainbows and you’re eating a warm brownie and also maybe you’re a little drunk? Ah. Those […]
