Happy Freedom day everyone!!! It feels so strange because I’ve missed the fireworks the last two years (working and out of the country last year—which was really strange!) and I might have missed them this year! I was thinking about going to the city tonight to see a great show, but depending on the rain, we’ll see. Although, it’s never a 4th of July without the rain.
Today is one of my favorite holidays, mostly because of what today is. The birth of our free nation and a celebration of all those who have fought for it. So thank you to every military man or woman. I’m so grateful to live in the United States of America. Say a prayer for those overseas today, may they know how much they are appreciated and looked up too.
On another great note—I ran the Fast Track Mile this morning. Not a 5k, obviously, but a race. I love running races on holidays—it just feels different and good and a great way to celebrate, especially on the 4th. I think I’m going to make it my own tradition. It just sets a good feel to the day. There were so many little girls running in the race that I couldn’t help but smile the whole time I was running. I hope they continue to enjoy running as they grow up as much as they did this morning. The smiling must have helped because I PR’d. 6:50—my fastest mile time yet.
I’ll keep it short and sweet today—Have a wonderful 4th of July! Hopefully it will be full of sun and cookouts and family and fireworks and freedom. Take it all in and smile. Remember today and dream.
