gratitude

The one thing I thought of today while out running is THANK GOD that I am an athlete. Based on all the stress in my life (THANKS WORK...), I'm willing to bet I'd be a mess without the positive outlet that the pursuit of fitness provides. I was a case earlier today, and here I sit after a very good quality 8 mile run, and my frame of mind is MUCH better. I just wish this mindset would stay with me more often, because realistically I can't be exercising all day to stay grounded....
