The last two 5k’s I’ve run have been perfect conditions. Freezing temperatures, rain, injuries in my knee and hip. Really couldn’t ask for better environment for running…
…Obviously not ideal, yet still enjoyable. Each time has taught me to fight through not only physical pain on the joints and muscles but pain on the skin and air traveling to the chest.
As I ran this morning, I became aware of something I am thankful for on this day. After not running for several months I was able to go out and run a 5k. Many people aren’t even able to stand or walk.
So many things that we take for granted every day. So many things that we’re able to do.
Today, I’m thankful for running in the rain.
