If I Look Like I've Gained Weight....

It's because I ate a bug!! YUCK!!! It's not the first. Can you run with your mouth closed??? I certainly can't which means eventually I'm gonna get to eat a few bugs. I guess this is one of the first lovely experiences of running outside instead of in the nice gym which is bug free...well except for a few that make my skin crawl...oh you know what I mean.

Today I went to the track and ran three miles then ran up and down the bleachers. It was a lil hard after the run but it felt good when I finished. I also did a small workout of high knees and butt kicks. Ummm I'm sure I looked really goofy but it was great and boy did it ever give my legs a workout!

Still LOVING my new running shoes! Well one more day of work and LONG weekend ahead. I sure hope to at least get a little sun!!

What A Difference.....

....proper running shoes make!!! I have struggled since February with lots of pain and soreness in my legs. I have been to the doctor, made sure I did some stretching, tried not running every day and a mixture of other things, none of which have worked. It's been a struggle to build up my mileage and pace. Well last week I went to a great store called Front Runner Athletics and they helped me find the proper running shoe. I can't believe how different my legs feel. I was certain that running was never gonna get any easier. I am even amazed that I can go farther without feeling like I'm about to collapse. It's SO great. Now I'm excited that maybe I can begin to run more miles, make less stops and run a little faster!

I want to share a song with you that we did on Sunday. It's an amazing song!! Just look below in the next post!

Kimberly also gave me a book by one of my favorite authors, Ted Dekker called Kiss and also some favorites candies! It was a great day!!!

Then today I waked up to the most perfect coffee maker ever!!!! I was so excited. My daughter really surprised me with this one! We had the best time dranking our first cup of coffee together and just talking. Then we headed out to my mom and dad's where we have some great lasagna and Brittany's favorite dessert my mom makes called Chocolate Delight. We had a great time.
