Jenn from Running Sane and Carpeviam from Copia Verborum tagged me to list 10 things that make me happy. Here we go. The first 10 "things" that I can think of which make me happy:
1. My little guy - comedian, imitator, pain in the ass! He gives the best kisses and keeps me grounded to what is really important in life.
2. My husband - as my mom says, "I don't know how he puts up with you". Yup, I am complicated and difficult, but so is he, and we make a good team.
3. My mom - keeps me honest. I hope to look like her when I get to be 66.
4. Running - enough said!
5. A good fiction book - I rarely read fiction. I devour nonfiction books, but I have a hard time finding a fiction book that captivates me. When I do find it, I absolutely love getting lost in it.
6. My work - it is challenging, stressful, but I would not be whole without it.
7. Chocolate - my world would be sad without my daily treat.
8. Friday night game night - adds excitement and reliability to my week. Great food, great friends, awesome games, and a little competition make for a perfect evening in my book.
9. Four leaf clovers - I have a huge collection, which I started when I was a little girl. My mom and my grandmother also collected them. I find them easily, sometimes during my runs on the bikepath.
10. Being healthy - the older I get, the more I appreciate how healthy I am and how much I can do.
To keep the game going, I am tagging the first 5 people who commented on my last post:
Melissa
Meg
Charissa
Jill
Kerri
****************
My tempo run went well today. The bikepath was clear and I decided to take advantage of it. 9.5 miles @ 2mile@ 7;00, 30 secs rest, 2@ 6:55. Next week I am going to force myself to decrease the mileage a bit and rest my legs. I am running higher mileage than I had initially planned, and faster! Good but not good.

Love the list. I really appreciate #1 and #9. #1, because I don't have kids of my own, so your honesty is a relief! #9, because I like that you look for them, and even if you're not, you still spot them.
Thanks for the tag, yeah for number #10!
Nice list! They are all very important for a successful well-balanced and happy life! Awesome!
i love these posts :) they make me happpppy!
Great list.
Complicated and difficult people are the very best kind.
Great list! I feel you on most of those. Lately, I've been very thankfull for my health. It's hard to come to terms with my body when it does't want to cooperate in the same manner as it did when I was in my 20's don't laugh at that!:)
Awesome, I love your list!!
Okay, there are like 50 Jill's in blogland, I found out. So if I am not the correct Jill, please let me know :).
That is super cool about the 4-leaf clovers. I used to collect those as a kid but have no idea what happened to them. I used to go to Albuquerque when my kids were little to see their grandparents and there was this park there that was covered in clover. I would sit for hours while my kiddos played and hunt and hunt for them. Rarely finding any but some times I would. Wow, that was a long story about 4-leaf clovers. Sorry. haha. Happy weekend almost!!
Thanks for leaving me some training tips on my blog. You've helped me to plan my training!
Loved the list!
