Therapuetic Thanksgiving

Hey Ladies.

I hope your Turkey Runs went well.  For my Thanksgiving Run I decided to get as close to Utah as humanly possible here in Georgia.  How's that?  By running the only mountain around.  It felt so good to push up a mountain again.  Very different from our Utah mountains, I was running on pure granite, but I didn't care.


There were parts that got so steep I couldn't run, I had to power walk, it was kickin my butt.


But it was sooo worth being at the top.


I sat at the top and said a prayer of thanksgiving for you two, for my family, for my friends, for everything I've been blessed with.  And really, what top of the mountain run wouldn't be complete without a few tears?  Luckily there weren't any Asian tourists at the top this time to share in the moment with me. ha.   I was so lucky to have you as running partners.  I hope you two know the influence you had and continue to have in my life.  I missed you yesterday.  But I was so thankful for the opportunity to run, to sit on a mountain, and realize how much I've been blessed with.


The run down the mountain was entertaining.  I probably shouldn't have run down it.  A bunch of rocks?  Yah, probably not the best idea.  Don't worry I only fell once.  Heh heh.

MUCH LOVE! MUAH.
