Friday morning I got up at 4:40, got dressed, drank my protein shake and drove to the gym for my run/swim block. I got there and had my choice of treadmills, so i picked the one right in front of the tv. To my horror the news was on and I saw the devastation that happened to Japan. My heart just sank, we have a friend who was flying there with her children to visit her family. Thankfully she was safe but she is stranded at the airport, we haven't heard about the rest of her family yet. I had an hour to run which meant an hour to watch the news and think about the things I'm thankful for in my life.
I have a whole list of them, so I encourage y'all to do the same. Write them down so you can see them everyday. We all need reminders.
I finished my run in 60 min running 5.14 miles and then headed to the pool. I wasn't sure how today's swim would roll out, but it wasn't too bad. I swam another 1800 in 44 minutes. When I was done I saw a fellow triathlete finishing up his swim, so we chatted for a few minutes.
I went to the store for milk and eggs, got home and started making some gluten free bread for lunches. Got the kids up, and out the door and then made my daughters bday cake, also gluten free. So many things have to be made from scratch now.
That evening at my daughters party all the girls had a blast, it was great to listen to them talk and be care free. I miss those days :)
Be thankful for what you have!
Chris :)
