Count your blessings

Every so often I get a wee reminder about how lucky I am to be fit and healthy which is something that is easy to take for granted.  But a few situations today reminded me that not everyone is so lucky so tomorrow when I get up I'm going to take some more time to smell the roses, metaphorically speaking, and appreciate what I have.
In the pool tonight it was a tough session, there were certain drills that I found almost impossible and once again my attitude could have been better - work to be done here.  But on reflection I have improved my swim fitness so much following my return that I know the hard work over the winter will pay off.  Swimming may be the shortest part of Ironman but if you get it wrong on the day it can finish your race so it deserves a lot of respect.  So if your healthy and perhaps fit, count your blessings.
