Thanks

It's been four days since my half and over that time I've taken time to thank my body. All too often, I feel like I just keep going and take my mobility and ability for granted. 

It's easy to forget to take time just to be. I have no idea how to relax, but I forced myself to do so as much as possible on Saturday and Sunday. Even Monday, I tried to take it easy. 

It's a little dark, but on Monday I spent an hour there. Getting a massage and physically thanking my body. My massage therapist spent time on the parts that I felt worked extra hard and I just had an hour to meditate. It was perfect. She sent me on my way with some tea. I don't know what it is about yogi tea that always seems to know exactly what I need to hear. 

I feel like I do belong. I have family and friends that care, while at the same time I long for more achievements while running. We will see where the next couple weeks take me. All in all, I know I want to and need to take a minute to pause and thank my body for getting me where I go.
