Love Is in the Nike Air's!

Happy Valentines Day! Yesterday I posted the photo below on Instagram. I'm sure it comes as no surprise to most of my readers that what I would prefer as a Valentine's Day gift would be some new running gear or a great workout. After all, love is in the Nike Air's, right? It just makes sense - save the money you would have spent on flowers and give me a new sock bouquet or a pair of NikeID running shoes with an encouraging message inscribed on them. I would be in runner heaven. Just a heads up for all those husband's scrambling for a great gift for their wife before they come home from work tonight. Stop by your local running store and surprise her! Whatever you choose to do, make sure it's from the heart. 

In reality - things shouldn't be what this day is about. Instead it should be a day where you focus on sharing love. Share love with your partners, friends and acquaintances. I'm thankful that I have a great husband who has high goals for himself. And while sometimes it is hard to agree on who gets to pursue their goals in the location they want to live, I am thankful that we can both pursue our passions in different ways. I've been pretty lucky with the life I have been given and I'm going to keep dreaming every day, creating lofty goals and working tirelessly to reach them. There are ups and downs, but they all lead to something greater and make you stronger. Today, I plan to look back on what I have, how I have been blessed and the good times. Valentine's Day is just a reflection of the love I have received all year long.
