YOUVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME

...yeah this book exists.

I'm going to go shoot something now.

As of late...

Been super busy lately, most of you know my mom had a knee replacement so I've been hanging out and trying to make life easier on her as well.

School has started again, this semester has been super challenging but I'm really enjoying getting into the nitty gritty of my field.

Church stuff has been keeping me busy as well, between starting kids ministry this weekend (so excited), a new MC, and possibly joining a new young women's renewal team coming up. I'm not quite sure I will be able to make the time commitment to team again. However, it is something that has been coming back to me over and over again for the last month or two, despite how I keep telling God I don't have time for anything else. Guess I may just have to make time.

As for my running, my race is quickly approaching, like within a week. I'm not as prepared as I would like to be, unfortunately for me and my body I had to cut back with all this craziness going on. Now I'm back into the swing of things though and have a schedule set up so I can keep doing what I love. Can't wait to run my first big race! I NEVER thought I would ever be a runner or an athlete of any kind. I know it's only six miles, and for most runners it isn't that long. To me though, six miles is such an amazing accomplishment.

First Big Race

Holy. Crap.

I'm gonna be honest here, I'm pretty scared. I'm terrified I will do poorly, get a cramp, break my leg, fall oj my face, vomit on a spectator...you get the picture. I had nightmares all last night about it.

Pray for me! I need courage and endurance and peace!

Can't believe its tomorrow already.

Annoying

We all have cell phones. And we NEVER ANSWER THEM. (myself included)

Depression

This depression is like a black hole. Totally inescapable.

New Fun Adventures

So I've been getting into all kinds of adventures this summer. I've started seriously training for my half marathon. Am planning on running the 5k in august, 10k in October and the Turkey Trot in November. So that's a fun line up of races for fall.

The boyfriend and I are also taking rock climbing classes at a climbing gym and I'm super excited about that as well.

Also Ryan and I took the girls geocaching the other day, which was crazy fun. If you've never been picture a treasure hunt for grown ups complete with map, coordinates, a compass and treasure of course. If you haven't tried it yet, its a super fun way to waste a day.

Running update

I've been running a lot lighter these days as to not flare up the shin splints again, but I'm still running. It's hard when it is so stiffling hot, especially today. I ran two ten minute miles around the block, but as soon as I came in the house I had to stick my head under the faucet to cool down.
