We all set goals for ourselves. Some big, some small. I could have come up with a thousand reasons why I am not ready for my 5K Turkey Trot tomorrow but then I would would choke on my turkey dinner tomorrow. Sad to say, I've fallen short of my goal - something I'm not very proud of. I am not ready to do this race tomorrow. Life got in the way and things took a turn and I am pulling out of the race. One thing is for sure though... I know that next time I set a goal this big I MUST set it more than 3 1/2 weeks before it is to occur. Being human sometimes means admitting when you're not up to snuff. I feel good though knowing that I can give my body the rest it needs right now and then come back even stronger. Anyone out there who has fallen short of a goal (no matter how big or how small) cut yourself some slack.. I am! At first, I thought, how could I have let this happen and then I realized that I'm human and we all have inadequacies. I'd rather pull out knowing that I'm unprepared rather than go ahead and possibly get injured. So for that recognition, I am "truly grateful" this Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
