Thanksgiving morning I ran in a 5K Turkey Trot in Seattle with my friend Lynne. It was beautiful to run by the old Seattle houses, sailboats and the georgous view of the Olympic mountains. What was not beautiful was my extremely heavy breathing. Lynne was so patient - I really did not want her to run with me because to her this was an easy stroll. But I did it - and because of her I was motivated to beat my 5K time by 2 minutes.
But.. Thanksgiving day... yummy! The whole Holiday season is usually filled with me disappointed in myself that I gave in to so many wonderful treats!
So my prescription for my holiday cravings is:
If you are miserable, forget your troubles. March right out your door, and find someone who needs you. ~ Robert L. Backman
Diets and Despair can be saved for New Year Resolutions. What a wonderful season to be focusing on others!
Don't worry - I won't go crazy this holiday season. I'm just not going to be so hard on myself.
