Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating. It’s not a day that I celebrate personally, however, I have been thinking a lot recently about thanks and gratitude.

Back to running, week two
I have just started my third week of running. I’ve been enjoying the variety it has added to my workout schedule. Last week an old ankle injury flared up, so I took a couple off running. Having a fairly diverse workout schedule means I can be flexi and adapt my plans when my ankle is…
