The Gratitude Experiment/Why I Hate Running

I hate running.

It will never be fun.

And it will never be easy.

And yet, I have to do it anyway.

I don't know. Actually, the

{benefits}

of running are really amazing.

It works like every muscle in your body,

AND kills your cardiovascular system.

{Wow}

Anyway, my dad, my mom, my sister and I ended up going trail running today.

They went a little further than I did, and I promised to run back to the house.

Like I said,

I hate running.

Enter:

{The Gratitude Experiment}

I decided that for every time that I was hurting,

ready to give up,

or ready to die,

I would think of something that I was grateful for at that very moment.

{I am grateful for legs to carry me home}

{I am grateful for my Ipod to listen to}

{I am grateful for hands to carry that Ipod}

{I am grateful that my heart beats}

{I am grateful for running}

Did I really just think that??

I did.

{I am grateful for running, and the calories it burns so that I can eat more stuffing}

A Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
