Thankful Thoughts During a 5 Miler

Some of my random thoughts yesterday while running...

- Thanks brother for picking me up from Murphy's yesterday to pick up my fresh, new Nikes!

- Wow, all the ice on the ARC pool is finally melted. Is spring really just around the corner?

- Foam Roller, thank you for making my muscles feel so loose. My knee hasn't hurt at all during this 5 miler.

- I love this song on my week one running mix from Nat, Ambling Alp by Yeasayer. I listened to it 3 times in a row around mile 4. All the lyrics are empowering, but these especially stuck out to me yesterday...
     "And if anyone should cheat you
      Take advantage of or beat you raise your head
      And wear your wounds with pride
      You must stick up for yourself son
      Never mind what anybody else done

- Bahaha, that's a funny shirt! - in reference to a kid wearing this shirt while running...

- 5 miles for the first time since I was in Italy...wow this feels good :)
