Three Thankful Things for Thursday

How many TH words can you fit into one title?  Well apparently 4 for me!  

Today's focus....thankfulness! 

1.  Thursday is Friday..... 

We have school off tomorrow so today is really my Friday.  I feel like I'm acting worse than my students though.  I'm so happy to not have to work tomorrow and to be heading down to visit my family.  Em has been counting down the days until she can see her cousins again.  I hope they sleep well tonight because she has a laundry list of things that she wants to do with them!  She's like a tornado there...she comes in...plays hard...and leaves a mess and very tired people behind!  They love it!!!  Seriously though I can't wait to see my family and eat my weight in Portuguese sweet bread.  I eat it once a year now that I don't live at home and seriously that is probably a good thing!  It's heaven!

2.  Run bunny Run.... 

The crew last year

Hopefully the sweet bread is going to be good fuel for my Jamestown bridge race on Saturday!  Last year I scored a 6 minute pr and it was one of those classic New England Spring days (translation freezing, raining, and knock you over windy)!  I'm looking forward this year to a better weather forecast and to be running with my BRF Jill and her brother Stu.  Jill and I have some sweet running outfits planned so stay tuned.  It is my last event for the Jelly Bean and we are definitely going to get a picture for it!!

3.  Marathon mania.... 

 Being in the Boston area, the time around the Boston Marathon is always exciting and buzzing.  There are several people in my running group who are doing the marathon this year, including Megan who is running it for the first time and is going to CRUSH it!!!  We were talking about preparations and the race itself at parts during the run.  Even though I'm not running it I always get so excited talking about it.  I'm so thankful to live in an area close to it.  It is like I get to remember the amazing experience I had each year!  One day Boston may be on my radar again but until then I am having so much fun getting excited for you all doing it and for my IRL running buddies who are toeing the line too!
