So Thankful!

If the only prayer you said in your life was 'thank you,' that would suffice. -Meister Eckhart

I returned back "home" to Atlanta today after a really great Thanksgiving weekend in Summerville. I hadn't been back there since May, which is definitely the longest stretch I've ever gone without going home. It was perfect. I few home on Thanksgiving morning (and even got in a nice little run through the Atlanta airport ... whoops ... I'm not one for being punctual but this was the first time that I was thisclose to missing a flight on my own accord). We ate lots of good food, saw an awesome Widespread Panic show with my Dad, did some good shopping, watched the Gamecocks BEAT Clemson!!!, saw a great friend over coffee, and even got in a good run! I forget that not everywhere is hilly and it was so nice to run on flat ground!

So we are officially T-7 days until the half marathon! I am so excited and don't know how I'll make it through 4 days of working!

All in all, I am incredibly thankful for so many things .... good health to even have trained for this race, great friends and family for supporting me in my quest to find a cure for Crohn's and Colitis ($3800 raised from 83 incredible people!!!), and the opportunity to complete a half marathon with Team Challenge! It's been a great run!
