In the words of...

In the words of Black-Eyed Peas...running, running, running
yup, that is what I am doing. Today I did a 5 mile run. I again, was dreading it and just about turned around and headed home. But Erwin was on the Ipod and my shoes were on the feet and my legs were already in motion, so I kept on. I am so glad I did. I got to see the sun peak over the horizon, feel the cool breeze, and see and hear a flock of geese in the early morning. I felt great! There is something that I keep thinking of though...I am training for a race I have not entered. That would be bad to miss it! Perhaps I should stop blogging and go register.

Weather

The weather has been so nice around here. Abbie and I enjoy going to the park on these crisp evenings. It is almost like we will actually have fall this year! I went running tonight and it felt great. Much better than Saturday morning in the humidity. It felt as though I was running in a shower. There are days I like running and days I don't. I often think about not continuing on this journey and I have to sit and ask what is keeping me from it? Probably selfishness. Maybe fear of not being able to pull this thing off. After all, if you quit then you don't have to worry about not crossing the finish line. But then I run, get home, and feel fabulous that I did it. I continue to pray that God will bless this journey and that I will be committed to it. Even when I just don't feel like it.

For those who watch this, I must say, poor Toby. I liked him. Bunches. But I guess Lucas is an ok choice.

Ahhh

I have to say that this new weather is quite lovely. We have so loved taking Abbie to the park each evening. She loves to swing and slide. She likes falling down into the woodchips to come up with a handful. We stroll around in the wagon and head back home. I just love having a park within walking distance. It is great to see neighbors out walking, riding bikes, and hanging out at the park. When we moved here I just thought, nice, a park. Now that we have a little one I have come to appreciate having it. The walking trails are fabulous and we have one that goes into a wooded section and one way leads you to a pond. What a great place to live and raise a family. God knew in advance that this is just what we needed.
