Grateful

Oh the many things that race through your head when working out or on a run. Those today are about what I am grateful for in my life. Sometimes we all need a reality check and should be thankful for what we have. Sorry for sappy post, but it's true..sometimes just need to take a step back and see what we all have. It's pretty incredible if you ask me.

First off, thankful for my family, friends, and pup who love me and support me. Thankful to have a job I absolutely love and the best coworkers a girl could ask for. Second, thankful for my husband who is pretty awesome, just don't tell him I said that. Thirdly, thankful for the ability to run. I know we all talk about running but, it's not easy. I am happy I have the ability to get up, lace up my shoes, and get lost in a run. I am not the fastest runner, but I will try my hardest to become better and improve on every race.  Running keeps me in check. It helps me destress and most importantly it keeps me leveled. I am incredible blessed for every mile I log and every race I finish. It's one of the greatest things and so happy I have it. Therefore, it's a gift and I am glad I chose to open it. Maybe you should too?

Another fabulous and different recipe I came across is Avocado chocolate chip cookies. I know, I know what your thinking...avocado and chocolate, no thank you. But, I made them and they are delicious. The avocado replaces the butter and makes these cookies healthier for you. Try them, I am hooked. Remember don't always judge a book by its cover, otherwise you might be missing out. This is one of those recipes, so give them a chance:)
