30 days of Thanks: Day 27 + Cans for Comments Blogathon

Today I am thankful for:

One more day of vacation.

A hilly run with some amazing views of the Colorado Rockies.  I get to enjoy this view every day that I run if I just pay attention.

My wife left her laptop at home for me to take to Panera Bread for an Ice Tea Fest :)

30 days of Thanks has something planned as a follow up in December!

For this inspirational post about being thankful every day.

For the Reiki Creed:  I think this fits in very well with the 30 days of thanks.

I will give thanks for my many blessings



I will be happy and look at the positive


I will be worry-free and deal with anger appropriately


I will do my work honestly


I will be kind to my neighbor and every living thing.

30 days of Thanks: Day 25 + Cans for Comments Blogathon

Today I am thankful for:

Being able to run in one of my favorite races:  Remembering Steve "Flagman" Muniz 5K.

Steve was a Vietnam veteran and a fixture for many years at all of the local running races.  Steve passed away at the two mile mark on Halloween in 2002 while running a 5K.

Steve always ran with two American flags long before it was fashionable to do so.  I look forward every year to be able to run in his memory and proudly carry on his tradition of running with the American flag.

Today Laura and I both ran with the American flags that Potts(Parenthia Jones) as she is affectionately called  provided to all of the runners at the start of the race.

I am so thankful for Potts for her support of the running community. After September 11, Potts immediately organized a 5K to benefit the first responders and provide an outlet for a community that was grieving. 

Potts was one of the runners selected to carry the Olympic Torch as it passed through Colorado in 2004!

Do you have someone that inspires you?

                                                  Laura, Potts and me at the finish line.

Please take a moment and leave a comment for the Cans for Comments Blogathon that is running through December 2.  The more comments, the more canned goods that I will donate to a local food bank.
