It’s time of year to appreciate what we have, rather than bemoaning what we lack. The past few days have been very relaxing up at our cabin in Strawberry, surrounded by turkey, fall colors, family (Mom is visiting from Florida)… and zero running.

I had plans for a run here, at least on Saturday, which is scheduled for a long Team D run, but I continue to feel stiffness and pain in my shin, so I opting to give it even more rest, hopefully ready to climb back in a training schedule this week. I still have a good 7, 8 weeks of time to prep.

Also, I have firmly decided that I am on no way ready, having lost a few weeks of training, to run a full marathon, so I am commiting officially to run the half again, and instead, try to run a faster time than last January. I really cannot say with much confidence that I would ever “love” running. But I am challenged to do this run, and confident I can do 13 miles.

And I am thankful for that, and mucn more.
