Thankful for Trails and Falling

Today I ran a little over 7 miles on trails in Kent County. I fell and I smiled. It felt good to be on trails again and to be running with my friend Akiko. While I haven't been seriously injured, my knee and hip have been bothering me - probably due to high mileage and IT band issues.

Today nothing hurt while I ran and the trail felt great under my feet. I wasn't fast, but I had great conversation and if you don't get dirty running trail - have you really run on a trail?

I am thankful for trails in this great state we live in. I'm thankful for we can hike, walk, mountain bike and run in some of the most beautiful country ever right here in West Michigan.

I'm also thankful that after my many falls on trails this summer - I didn't seriously injure anything! Praise the Lord for that one!! HE was definitely watching over me this summer - because as a couple of my friends said "You got air on that one!"
