Why hello there!

So I know it's been quite a while since I've posted last and that's mostly because I've been quite busy. Once life starts rolling, it doesn't stop for any one person. A little over a week or so ago (I can't really remember) I ran my second half marathon which went remarkably well. I trained a lot better for this one though I still didn't train enough. The good thing is, for the past year I've made it a steady habit to exercise 6 days a week. If nothing else, it helps keep my endurance up and get me in better shape.

Well the half was great. I was a little sore for a few days but nothing compared to some other, less extensive runs that I've ran. I think I went out for a run on Wednesday or Thursday just to get back into things. I ran yesterday too - an easy four mile run - to prepare for my 5k. Its kind of funny actually to think about running a 5k after running much longer races, but I'm excited about it. Bailey, my mom, and I are planning on running the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving. My motto is to prepare for the race that's coming up. So for me, I've been thinking about the 5k and trying not to get to far ahead of myself with the 10 miler in 10 days. I did just notice that there is a half marathon in fredericksburg which is kind of cheap. I might end up doing it.

I've been out on break since Friday afternoon. I took the weekend off to enjoy time with my sisters, but today and yesterday were mostly catch up days for schoolwork. I'll take it though because it's time that I don't have to spend in class.

Not to much else is going. I did pass out in the shower today. Not really sure what that was about, but I figure it had something to do with the 2 hour workout and then 1 hour bath I had taken. Note to self: not a good/safe combination. I woke up in the shower with the water still on and I had cut my leg because I fell on my razor. Maybe that's too much information, but just words of advice...

Right now I'm about to catch up on three episodes of Glee cause my life has seriously been missing them.

Oh my favorite verse right now is this: The Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still. Exodus 14:14. It's been cool because Riley and I have been reading our bibles everyday and praying together. Let me tell you, never underestimate the prayers/strength of a child. God can do great things with children through their vulnerability and absolute truth. It's been awesome so far.

Plus I have a new fav. Christmas song, but I'll leave that for after Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving all!
