Yes miracles do happen!!! I actually got up at 6 am and ran today.. so I guess you can say that is 2 miracles for me today.
Favorite part of the run... I saw a plump little boy taking his dog out for a walk to use the potty. The dog was more than twice his size and I can just imagine the conversation leading up to this act... "Billy take the dog out" "Mom I don't want to, it is still dark outside." "Billy you said you wanted this dog so he is your responsibility."
My level of running is sad but I went.

Blessing: My running shorts still fit after weeks of eating whatever I want and not really exercising. They were tight but.. they still fit! | |

Two days in a row!!! I feel great. I need to remind myself when I don't want to crawl out of bed how wonderful it feels to run.
Favorite moment: Ran into a friend who was rollerblading along the beach. Stopped and chatted for about 5 min.
Blessing: My husbands patience in listening to all my "fat" talk over the years. Why do we do this to ourselves ladies? We, or I need to get over it and be grateful for the body God gave me. For the rest of the day no FAT talk for me. | |

PM run again. Got dinner on the table and left my family to eat so I could run in the daylight. Ran down to the pier and back. It took me 15:24 to run to the pier and 14:02 to run back.
I love to play running games with myself. When I saw the time at my turn around point I challenged myself to beat it.
Last mile 7:25
Blessing: Claritin D... my allergies are a killer right now but that drug completly wipes them out. | |

Hurried and jumped on the treadmill while my sick child is sleeping.
I took my kids to San Diego yesterday to visit some friends and go to the beach. On the way home my 2 year old started throwing up all over in his car seat. SO SAD! I still had about an hour till we got home so I stopped and cleaned him up at a Carls JR. As soon as we started on the road again he puked again. I ended up not stopping to clean him up mostly becasuse I had nothing else left to clean him up with. He puked again to so I just hurried home as safely as possible.

Ran down to the beach today and ran 10 sets of stairs and 3 hill repeats. The hill was just about .12. I don't know how long of a hill I should use.. does anyone else?
It was super foggy and by the end of my run my hair was a ball of serious messiness.
Blessing: Scriptures... I have made it a point to read my scriptures after I drop my kids off at school before I do anything else. That habit has truly blessed my life over these last few weeks. | |

Down to the pier and back. My legs just weren't working today. I couldn't get them to move the way I wanted them to.
Ran past a lady who had fallen on her bike. Stopped to help.
There was so much moisture in the air today. It felt almost like running in the rain only it wasn't raining. Very bizarre sensation. It was really foggy again.
Ran past a port a potty truck cleaning out the potty's. Thought I was going to loose my cookies. I kept thinking the air had to get fresh and it took about a half mile past the truck to get any fresh air. Very NASTY!
Blessing: Choc. Peanut Butter Banana Protein Shake... I have had them for breakfast 3 times this week and they are so delicious!!!! My kids try to still them from me. | |

Happy Birthday to my Hubbie!!!
Got up at 5:30 did the Jillian Micheals "Making the Cut" Day 1 workout.
Ran 3 miles. This is rough estimate because I took a new route and did not have my watch. I felt so good running today I could have gone forever. Too bad my husband has to go to work. Why can't we just live on Love?
Ran past.. let me rephrase that.. 4 missionaries ran past me. The Mission President here strongly encourages exercise each morning. It was fun to chat with them for a minute.
There is this little donut shop that I run past almost every morning and every morning my cute neighbor is there drinking his coffee with his friends. He is 75 or so. I always wave and say hi . Today he yelled at me to stop. He said, and I quote "This is the only time of day I get to talk to you without your old man or my old lady." His friends all started laughing and he hugged me. So FUNNY! I asked what we would do with all the witnesses and they promised not to tell.
Blessing: My husband... He truly is my best friend. Happy birthday to him!!! Big 33 today! | |
