I am grateful that for the past four years I have kicked off Thanksgiving morning with a run through downtown San Diego (and a beer garden!).

A friend invited me into his 5K tradition, which morphed into our 10K tradition.
We run to honor the fact that we can. Health is a Blessing beyond all measure.

He graciously slows to my pace, peppily hopping alongside me as I struggle to propel my body forward for 6.2 miles. I may not ooze joy when the 5:30a.m. alarm chimes, or in mile 5 when my hips are angry, or when I cut left to retch after the finish line―but I am deeply grateful for these runs.

Provided we are both present and able to continue the 10K Thanksgiving Badassery in 2018: IN.
