Feeling thankful...
Last year I posted this thread http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023478910 I'd just run my first 5k. I have some medical issues (explained at the link) so it was a big deal for me.
Today I was out for a run, I usually do 3 miles. I was running through the neighborhood park and a guy was sitting in his wheel chair with his dog. He said to me 'I wish I could do that', we chatted for a minute and I continued on. As I came back around he asked how far I'd run and how much more I had to go. I told him and he he said 'don't give up you can do it'.
As I said, I've had my share of medical problems, still do, and as hard as it is some days to do it at least I can do it. I definitely have a new perspective on things.
I ran that same 5k on Saturday. Here's picture post run this year:

We had a great time!

You go!!
Great photo. Looks like you have a lot to be thankful for!
I'm happy for you and your family. Looks like you had a good time...
I had to give up a lot of working out over the winter because I had a couple surgeries. But I'm back at it now....working hard to get the rest of the weight off, but mostly just being healthy. 
Thank you!
you were always encouraging and supportive. You don't know how much that meant.
Not too mention the bear you keep sending...lol
You:
me:
Perfect.
Love the summer hair color!
What a beautiful family, one_voice.
Congratulations on the 5k...that is really something to be proud of!
I hope you're not feeling too bad!
My hair, lol...the girl that does it couldn't believe how light it gets in the summer. She put darker lo-lights in but it's already lightened up. Nothing I can do about it, I'm outside so much. It would cost a fortune if I tried to keep it dark for the summer.
This is what I'm thinking for the winter....the color anyway...haven't decided about the cut. 
the family I have. We are all very supportive of each other.
Except during fantasy football & football season. 
Great photo!
Saw you volunteered too. It'll be great working with you again.
Beautiful family there, too!
