As Thanksgiving approaches, we should remember the day’s not just about splurging and eating a ton of turkey, stuffing, and pie (although that’s something my stomach definitely looks forward to)! The true meaning of the holiday is learning to remember and appreciate all the things we are thankful for. As a runner, I’ve learned to be thankful for everything the sport gives me and all the opportunities it’s brought into my life. And all athletes probably feel this way—being part of an athletic community is something truly special and means that no matter where you go you’ll have friends who understand you. You’re never alone as a runner, triathlete, swimmer, cyclist, etc.—there are always people as passionate as you out there!

Thanksgiving leftovers are the best type of leftovers to repurpose. There are few other holiday meals where you can make completely new dishes with the stuff that didn’t get eaten.
