SWBKRUN Mentor Group-"Off Season?" What is that?!! (Page 358)

1. I'm thankful that I have a wonderful family.
2. I'm thankful that I have my health.
3. I'm thankful that I have a mother who is a saint and still bends over backwards to take care of me and now my family.
4. I'm thankful and very grateful that I spend time fine tuning our budget to fit in tri-coaching instead of food or housing.
5. And I'm thankful to have found such a great group of people in this MT group to share my tri/running passion.

Great post Suzie -thanks for getting us rolling on this.

For me, I'm thankful for:
1. My wonderful wife and great kids - they are truly a blessing
2. Our community of friends and family that are both fun and supportive
3. Employment that allows my wife to stay home and raise our children
4. The freedoms we often take for granted in this country
5. While I won't be entirely sure until tomorrow, I'm pretty sure I'm thankful that John passed along that recipe for Sweet Potatoes
6. You guys are ok too

Have a fun, safe Thanksgiving and let's hope Aaron Rogers and Ryan Grant have big days against the Lions - my fantasy team could use something to be thankful for too.

 

LOL Matt you guys are making the sweet potato dish he posted also?  So we can all yell at him if it isn't good.

Well, my wife is making it.  I'm on turkey frying duty tomorrow.

Oh boy oh boy - I'm so excited.  I'm playing w/ new coaching website.  So geeky but taking the time to set up meals/nutrition stuff that I hope will help me be better about tracking stuff.  Not much different than BT but this way he'll be able to see what I'm eating.

I am thankful that you Americans have Thanksgiving at a different time of year than us. Therefore, in my part of the oil&gas industry, I get to take Thanksgiving off twice!
It is so funny. We deal with alot of people all over the US. It is amazing how many people I have talked to today, that have said "Have a great Thanksgiving." Its blows me away that they cannot understand that we celebrate it at a different time. I am waiting for one of them ask me when we celebrate Christmas!
 Yes John, waiting for your witty response.
Seriously, you guys have a great holiday. Enjoy your families!!

Tony is that you??? I think you logged in as Sam. If not, Tony I see why your married her now! 

Nope it's me wasting time at work.

Echo the great post SUzy.

-for my family. jarrett, incredible wife and mother in every sense. three beautiful and healthy children jack, june and jacy.  and my AWESOME dogs madison, joe, and tony.

-for you guys.  and not just for the banter on here but during training and racing when I need you most, you show up. 

-for the men and women that strap on the uniform every day, especially those still in that I served with.

-and of course that God granted me the ability to swim bike and run.  now hopefully He'll let me go a little faster.

- ∞

you guys are gonna destroy those sweet potato's.  would one with a username like mine steer you wrong?

man this is the first year in a while i'm not frying one.  and i was all excited not to have to clean up.  but now i'm kind of wishing i was. the only thing better than standing around a grill drinking beer is standing around the fryer drinking beer.

great idea stan!  hope this help you suzy. you feel like your head / upper body is going to sink and its a really weird feeling starting your first stroke convincing yourself that your hand needs to be in a fist.  but its kind of a fun drill.

belated happy remembrance day trevor and rob! 

That's what I told my wife when we were talking about the recipe.

Aww, Thanks Suzy! What were the chances of finding all of these great friends on the internet...and we all go by our real names, too...

I have so much to be thankful for, the list is too long to make...but thanks for making me think about it just a little bit harder today

Health and happiness are abundant in my life and for that I am just so lucky!  Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone...even you guys up north of the border

I meant to ask you Kim, did we ever win the Muddy buddy race?

Oh, and this is what I looked like right?

Well HELLO Tony

If that's Tony, can someone please help me get rid of the impostor in my house!!!!

Edited by sdalessio 2009-11-25 4:31 PM

Thankful...where do I start?!? 
I get very choked up thinking of everything/everyone I am blessed with and by. 
It has been a really good year.....and very tough year.  Today things look optimistic, I am so thankful.

Other than that....
I am thankful for the greatest family I could ever hope for (parents, husband, kids, and dog)....
I am thankful that I have every reason to believe that "things will be ok"....
I am thankful to be blessed with some very special friends....
I am thankful to be able to do the things I do....
I am thankful for this group...a lot of great people here - two I have met "in person" and others I hope to meet "someday"  

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
And to our friends up north......have a great day Trevor and Rob!

Hey girls...SkirtSports is having a nice Black Friday sale that is already going on. 

http://www.skirtsports.com/

AAAAgh!  I just opened that!  Tony, my goodness...  I'm speechless...  What race? 

Hey, no one posted their pics!  This is my new baby!  Bad picture angle but our house is a mess right now.  The weather is supposed to be incredible this weekend, but I am going to wait until after the marathon, December 6th.  Ah, the temptation!

Linda:

Canada is the only other country that celebrates Thanksgiving besides the US.

Mine:

I am thankful that I am married to my best friend.  And I am especially thankful that I found him, because I thought that I was going to spend my life alone!

I am thankful that we are able to spend time with our parents and that they are now relatively healthy, after numerous hospitalizations.  And I am thankful for the doctors who took care of them.

I am thankful that we both have good jobs and I am able to indulge in triathlon!!

I am thankful for friends who support me.

I am thankful for the military troops who ensure my freedom.

That's at least a good start on my list!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.  Good luck with the races and enjoy the turkey!

Karen

Kim:
