    I'm thankful that I don't live in Alaska right now...although it is a place I would love to visit. I thought it was cold where we are until I saw your post @akmomof7. Try and stay warm!
    Did the Turkey trot challenge this morning - took the dog for a walk. I don't usually take her because she pulls. We managed to do 4km in blustery conditions. It felt good though.

    Completed the turkey trot on the treadmill since it's raining. Plus, I'll be staying at my daughter's for a couple nights so I want to get the challenges complete before Thursday!

    I'm happy to see some great challenges for this holiday week! I run a "Yellowfork Turkey 10" with my friends in a place called Yellowfork canyon every Thanksgiving so this will be perfect! The run is flexible, you can run a 10k or 10 miles depending on how you feel. That brings me to my gratitude list. I am blessed in so many ways but right now I am thankful for every time I can go outside and run. I never know what my knee is going to let me do. Going several months without running made me realize what a blessing running is in my life. I'm only able to go once a week while my fracture is healing but I am thankful for every mile.
    When you do your turkey trots this week, try focusing on one thing you are thankful for as you complete each mile. I've done this through several races and it makes the experience much more rich.

    So for challenge 3, you have to state something you're thankful for. I know this will sound corney, but I'm thankful to wake up every morning to enjoy my wonderful life! I had a really bad heart attack 2 years ago and have been told 2 times since then that'll I'll need a heart transplant, but by the grace of God, and me listening to all the doctors recommendations, so far I'm transplant free! When you've been told a few times that that heart attack should have killed you, you have new appreciation for everything in life!

    That don't sound corney at all! Thanks for sharing, :)

    @starjam25 I agree. It wasn't corny at all! Totally inspiring!

    I got my 5k walked today and will try to get the stretch thing in this afternoon to finish off this week's challenges. Not sure if I will get anymore workouts in this week, but I will try! You all have a happy Thanksgiving!

    I am thankful for family, life, health, friends, and God who helps me everyday. On a lighter note, also Discount tires. They fixed our flat tire for free yesterday!

    Challenge 3. I'm thankful that I am surrounded by love and support, especially from my husband, who works so hard for us which allows me to stay home and homeschool our beautiful children. I'm thankful that I have two beautiful babies who make every day full of love, brighter, and exciting.

    I'm thankful for being able to watch my grandkids grow up! Plus, I'm thankful for my husband, daughter and son who have supported my journey on MFP. Of course, I wouldn't of been able to accomplish my goals without all the people I've meet on MFP.

    Today i will finish my 10k run with an extra mile because i split it into two days.

    I will work on the dance exercises today and tomorrow for the extra calorie burns too.

    WHAT AM I THANKFUL FOR ;

    I am MOST thankful for my health. I am at one of the healthiest points in my life and i feel GREAT !! I am also very grateful for my loving husband, family and friends. They support me no matter what i am trying to do. Then there are ALL my MFP friends. There have been times that if i didn't have my MFP buddies to vent to, i never would have been able to get out of some of the funks i got into.
