We can take much for granted as runners, especially if we have participated in the sport of running for a few years or more. If we are no longer newcomers to the sport, then we can easily ignore all the people, places, things, and activities that support us as runners. This is a pity. There is much in the running world for which to feel gratitude.
Things -- such as shoes and anti-chafing creme -- support our running.
Places -- such as parks and race courses -- support our running.
Activities -- such as races and group runs -- support our running.
People -- such as coaches and race volunteers -- support our running.
Book authors are an especially good example of people who support our running. For example, Dean Karnazes, who is a ultramarathoner, wrote in his book 50/50 an inspiring account of his running 50 marathons in 50 states across the USA in 50 days. And 50/50 is packed with tips and information related to injury prevention, injury recovery, and sports performance.
Feeling gratitude for everything that supports your running leverages the Law of Attraction to your benefit. Appreciate other runners, for example, and you will attract them more often and more people like them into your running life.
This works when you appreciate people who write books about or related to running, too. Book authors can help your running in many ways. And regularly feeling gratitude for these book authors is a great way to employ the Law of Attraction so that you become a healthier and happier runner.
You should make your own list of statements of gratitude for book authors who cover running-related topics. But here is a short list to get you started.
I am truly grateful for the many helpful books that my favorite book authors write about running.
I feel a lot of gratitude for how people who run and write books look out for my injury-prevention needs by telling me about the latest tools and techniques.
I am thankful to anyone who writes an inspiring book about running.
I love how I can learn about various races through books written by runners.
I appreciate all the lessons that book-author runners teach me about improving my running performance.
Remember: Once you have finalized your list, make a regular appointment with yourself to read the list and dwell on the positive emotions about the statements on the list.
