Running

I have truly been loving summer. I cannot believe how relaxing it is!!! I been keeping super busy w/ my massive to do lists, but loving not having to drive 2 hours/day. Sometimes I wonder how much longer I can do this drive w/o going crazy. I'm just trusting God that he will provide something else when the time is right. I try not to worry but it's hard because I like to plan and not knowing the future, well it makes planning hard!!! haha

I ran the Park 2 Park 5 Mile race on the 4th of July w/ a bunch of friends. It was amazingly HOT that day and incredibly humid. I stayed strong through the whole race and finished in 49 minutes, 38 seconds. In my age division, I came in 17th and overall came in 389th. There was about 600 people- a huge race that's for sure!

However, I learned two things during the race. 1- when you get goosebumps while running and you're sweating like a dog, it;s a precursor to heat stroke, so get some water! 2. When your foot is hurting and you keep running, don't be surprised when you take off your shoe and your entire sock is covered in blood!!!! Yucko!! Needless to say, it was quite exciting. Only weeks to the half marathon- I'm excited and terribly nervous. :)
