BooHoo

Chalked up another 4 mile run today. I realized recently that I complain quite a bit about "having" to run. I also realized that this is very self centered of me. If I break it down what I am complaining about is that my privileged lifestyle lets me be as sedentary as I wish and consume as much foods of whatever type I wish. Because of this I need to exercise in order to stay healthy. Boohoo for me. There are people out there who would love to be able to complain about running. Maybe because they work two jobs, are a single parent trying to make ends meet, and don't have enough time to spend with their children let alone an indulgence like running. Or maybe because some sort of handicap or illness has left them unable to run.

So, I am starting out this week with a grateful attitude. I am grateful for adequate amounts of money, food, time, and ability to allow me to pursue my goal of running the half marathon.
