running free

Exceeding goals is very new for me...even as I type this I am incredulous...and yet, why should I be? My goal to run 1000 miles this year is being blown out of the water! I will likely finish the year closer to 1500 miles, or more. Now, maintaining the utmost humility and gratitude that my life allows for the time and effort to accomplish this goal, that my body is staying strong and injury free, I just have to say...fuck yahhhh!

Still on the gratitude kick, feeling like royalty living here on the Westcoast, free, happy and healthy; wonderful friends and family and so much to give thanks for. I keep wondering, how did I end up here? How is it that I deserve this happy life when so many people can't even be free to make their own choices? I don't have an answer, so I'll just have to keep choosing gratitude and pay it all forward whenever I get the chance.
