This morning I got in my eight miler and as per usual had a fun time running around the neighborhood where I get various objects thrown at me (eggs, acorns, etc.).
While I didn't encounter any bullies today I did see my very first actual bare-foot runner. He was just cruising along with his iPod. Then I passed a couple of women walking who about choked me with their perfume. Seriously ladies, leave the perfume for other occasions, like when you aren't working on your fitness (Fergie Ferg!).
I don't have any special products to discuss today, but like always there is much to be thankful for. And so here it is a Thankful Thursday list at it's finest.
Today, I am thankful for:
1. Weekend trips to Orlando for the Magic game. (I'm going there on Saturday with someone special and can't wait!)
2. Stevie Wonder. Need I elaborate on his genius? Signed. Sealed. Delivered. I yours!
3. Bagelfuls. These things are DEE-LISH.
4. My new theme song for when I feel like I am not going to make my goal time at Gasparilla. Click here. (Couldn't help but use this mash-up. Ha ha!)
5. Co-workers who like to come in on Saturdays. God bless em. I'll take my day off thank-you-very-much.
6. Sugarfree Redbull. Yeah, sure it's made of who knows what, but sometimes coffee just ain't gonna cut it.
7. Channel 135. I was introduced to this channel and where I live it's the Investigation Discovery channel. All FBI Files and show like that ALL THE TIME. Good stuff.
8. Having a guy. So pretty much everyone I work with "has a guy." Like, I need that new rap CD. You do? Oh, I have a guy who can get that for you. It's awesome. (And not at all illegal.)
9. Painted toenails. I don't know what happened but my toes seem to have righted themselves and I haven't lost a toenail in a very long time. I am probably tempting the fates right now....
10. Generic brand sleep aid. I got mine from a Publix grocery store in these parts and I can't live without it before a long run now. I am just too anxious to sleep the night before my long runs and these work like a charm. I don't even use them any other night of the week but I highly recommend it before a big race or long run so you can sleep.
What are you thankful for today?

Just stop it already. I am not going to the Magic Game with you! :-)
However, I do agree with you on the perfume issue.
Going to the Magic game with "someone special," come on now, you can't leave us hanging like that!
I am thankful for great bloggers like you...you all make my days that much more enjoyable :) Happy Almost Friday!! :)
I agree with you on the perfume front! It drives me nuts - I just want to turn around and say REALLY?!
Great list and congrats on getting 8 miles in already! Have a great day!!
So glad you made it through Compton without getting anything thrown at you today!
See you tomorrow Boo! 22 M here we come!!!
"Someone Special" you know you can't keep teasing everyone! You gotta spill it. You know these peeps love them some LOVE. :)
The Perfume KILLS me too..I am allergic so I will be SNEEZING if I am around people with strong scents..
Sound of Music is my favorite movie!!!! :)
I am so intrigued by barefoot runners, aren't they afraid of stepping in doo doo?
I'd rather have my senses assaulted by the extreme scent of perfume than what it's probably masking.
I am with you on the perfume thing! I hate running and having to hold my breath until the clean air comes back! Great list! Oh, it looks like my picture has been moved off of your follower list because all of your newbie followers...you popular girl:) Happy Thursday!
This post made me smile. Super cute song to listen too.
Oh perfumed runners...blech! Isn't it weird how your sense of smell seems to heighten when you're running?
Happy Thankful Thursday! And I agree with d10...this post made me smile. :)
I need to find me a gal for all the reasons you stated =)
Great job doing 8 miles! It amazes me the amount of perfume people wear. You run by them breathing all hard and it takes your breathe away. ick!! Yay for barefoot runners! I am the only one in these parts and I would love to see another, well other than my dear one anyways!
#7- I am all about that! I watch that channel, I.D channel and Court TV pretty much always unless there is a sport on. LOVE real life crime shows!!!
What are bagelfuls? I want one, and I don't even know what they are.
I get so anxious before long runs too. I'm already getting nervous for my 16 miler on Sat!
I'm thankful for my speed workout today. It was a funny one, but productive one! :)
Wow you saw a barefoot runner! Crazy. I'm yet to come across one. Probably because it's so cold up here in Canada! Ha
I am thankful that this month is almost over - I am done with January!
ah, I love lists. :)
I'm grateful for ice... especially the ice thats being used to ice down my ankle... theres pain in my ankle and so not sure why. hmm
Great list! I just Googled "Bagelfuls." They look so good. On that theme...I'm thankful for search engines. What would I do without the internet?!?
who is this "someone special". Does he like 135?
I'm thankful that I got running shoes versus the 5 year old craps I was wearing before.
And, I would have been super thankful had I got them 4 weeks ago when I started running...
My right knee hates me right now ={
Hahaha, I love painted toenails, too, but I'm missing 4 right now. Err. Have a great weekend with the "guy" :)
I'm thinking the Red Bull may have inspired this post. You're at warp speed!
someone special huh? schmoopy post coming soon? ;)
thankful for all my far away friends! VERY THANKFUL that my leg is holding up!!!!!!!
I'm thankful for
1. My dogs that keep me going and give me an excuse to run.
2. Garlic, because even though you smell afterwards, its delicious on everything.
3. Kindergarteners who brighten my day and make me smile each and everytime I walk into the classroom.
i'm thankful for stevie wonder and any sleep aid!!!
