Sometimes it feels like I just finished a marathon when I make it to a Friday intact. This week was BUSY! I had a ton of grading to get finished and no real hope of getting it ALL done but somehow Friday morning came and the grading was done and the weekend was calling my name!

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not one of those, I live for Friday, persons. I enjoy my job, it’s part-time, sort of, a great schedule and I like what I do so I’m not living for Friday’s.

Anyway I have some things to be thankful for this week:

1)My health continues to improve on Whole 30. I didn’t want it to be true but it is…if you feed your body healthy food, you will be less tired, have more energy and move easier. I’m thankful my husband supported me and is doing the Whole 30 with me. Today is Day 47. So far we’ve lost 15 pounds each!

2)We got up every morning and did some type of exercise, either running or walking the dogs.

3)I like watching my daughter at her horseback lessons, fun to watch. She’s so brave!

4)I got my grading done and though I have another pile on my desk from today, it can wait until Monday. We all need to take a break now and again, even school teachers.

5)My knee hurts less and running is feeling easier again.

6)We started this week with a beautiful run in Monterey, Ca. I’m glad we got a chance to run there. It was spectacular running part of our seven miles on the hard packed sand on Asilomar beach for a couple of miles with the ocean waves crashing, the sun shining and the ocean blue in all its glory!

I enjoyed listening to this song while I ran :

I’ll check in again soon but for these things…

I give thanks!

Keep on Running!
