It is almost impossible to let Thanksgiving pass by without acknowledging all the reasons why I am so grateful to my Fellow Runners. It was hard to narrow it down but here is my top 5 list. Hang out until the end of the post for a huge giveaway.
-
Fellow Runners have always got your back. You can’t find a group of bigger cheerleaders and supporters. Whatever the struggle, just put it out there on social media and you’ve got someone offering advice or support in a matter of seconds.
-
Fellow Runners are very charitable. Every weekend we are out there raising money and awareness for those in need with races and fund raising efforts. When tragedy strikes, we leap into action and lace up our shoes to help however we can.
-
Fellow Runners will convince you sign up for crazy things you never would have signed up for over and over again and you will forever cherish the memories you made.
-
Fellow Runners are as crazy as you are! There is always at least one who will run with you on the hottest of hot days and the coldest of cold days.
-
Fellow Runners get you like nobody else does! We are a built in group who understands why the highlight of your weekend has something to do with miles and knows all about the “rungries”.

Susie @ SuzLyfe says
I would totally use it for Alex. He is starting to think about training for something, so I want to help him achieve that goal!
Deborah Brooks says
How sweet is that?! You are just the coach to do it.

I’d definitely pass the gift card onto a family member. I know exactly who I’d give it to too!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! I’ve really enjoyed connecting with you lately and look forward to more.
Beverley Cheng says
Happy Thanksgiving! My mother is an avid runner (i’ve mentioned) and i have to say i 100% agree with you on all your runner points. Especially being charitable! i sometimes think guys could seriously start your own charity haha
Deborah Brooks says
Many runners have! Thanks hope you had a nice Thanksgiving
Akaleistar says
What wonderful things to be grateful for! There’s nothing like finding a group of people who get you π
If I won an Under Amour e-card, I would probably use it to buy things for my brothers.
Deborah Brooks says
Yes I totally agree and that’s so nice that you would spend it on your brothers. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving
Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudy says
I am grateful to runners because not one of them have ever made me feel less a runner for being a slow runner; other runners have always been nothing but encouraging to me.
Deborah Brooks says
I completely agree and that’s one more thing to be grateful for. One person’s slow is another person’s fast.
Coco says
I think I could get something for me and for my son or husband with a card this generous!
