"I'm going for a run, want to go?"

"Sure."

It's a great thing to be able to meet up with a friend, spur of the moment, and get miles in on a Sunday morning.

I'm signed up for a 10K on Thanksgiving morning. I have at least one friend running the race and I passed on the information to another who will likely sign up. It will be fun to see them at the starting line early Thursday.

Another friend gave me a lead on a call for writing submissions. The topic? Running. I had a piece ready to go. Made the deadline.

I used to think it was a solo sport. I used to think it (running) was all about being in my own head, running by myself, and working through my thoughts. Somehow keeping them (my thoughts) to myself didn't help much and they seemed to build into something that was bigger - and sometimes more frightening - than the individual components.

Today I lift up gratitude for the sharing.
