Open Letter To: My Self

Dear Self,

November is quickly coming to a close and it seems the year has passed by at warp speed. I mean can you believe next week is Thanksgiving? Well it is self, and you have a lot to be thankful for!!! Although it has been a struggle you're still in business, the family seems relatively healthy and you just seem to get more and more attractive looking by the day. I remember just two years ago you looked like Jabba The Hut's stunt double and probably had less mobility. Remember those days while naked when you looked down and could only see belly? It's reassuring to know now that all that time you did have feet and a penis for that matter. See!!! Definitely a lot to be thankful for.

You have also become a respectable runner in the past year. Although you put in the work, don't forget where you started from. This alone should be all the motivation you need to never become that lazy individual again. Never be satisfied with where you are in future training, but relish in the goals you set along the way. There will be days and races where you will not perform at your best. Consider these times life lesson and learn from them. Most importantly, and I mean this with all sincerity, please do not Shit In Your Pants!!!

By the way, all the above advice could probably be used in your day to day life. Oh yeah, give the kids hugs and kisses and remember you can never tell them "I Love You" enough times. This also could apply to some wives, but I'm unsure in your situation. Peace Out!!!

Thursday run: 6 miles 57 minutes
