With the Holiday long weekend I didn't get too off track. I did miss one short run but did manage to get my long run in for the week, which is a small victory when there were tons of distractions (food and football) to get in the way. I can't take too much credit though, my long run for the week was only 6 miles.
I may not have achieved my max mileage over the holiday weekend but I did realize how lucky I am and that I have many reasons to be thankful. I have my health and the ability to train and be a part of something great. Only a small percentage of people ever run a marathon in their lifetime and in a few short months I am going to be one of them. My Mom has started her radiation and in 5 weeks this whole cancer nightmare will be a thing of the past and my family can begin to move forward. I have great family and friends, who are the best support system ever. I am lucky enough to have a job, when so many people are unemployed. I have realized how truly blessed I am, even if it took dragging my turkey filled tummy for 6 miles to figure it out.
