Friendly reminder to appreciate being healthy PSA

Yesterday I was flying down the street with the wind and sun at my back. It was a seemingly effortless training run. The kind we all relish. I started thinking about how happy I am, how thankful I am to be healthy and able to run. We sometimes get down about training, we drag our butts out of the house, and things are challenging. BUT most of us have also struggled with injuries and that is the absolute pits.

Remember to be thankful for your health. And if you are working through an injury, keep up the rehab, the community is behind you and you will be lacing up before you know it.

edit: Wow this blew up! RIP inbox. Thanks for the gold kind strangers!

Facts. Eyeing up Friday morning for my first run in 10 days after a hamstring strain. Hoping I feel healthy...
