A one hour run, set aside

I was ready to walk out the door for my long run this morning, when I got an email from my friend asking if I wanted to walk. Hmmm. Walk with my dear friend or run 6 miles?

A walk with my friend won out. If I had been in heavy training, I might have thought twice. Instead I emailed back and said I'd be over by 8. Then I went out and ran a fast one mile. Only I wasn't so fast as I'd like to be or as I imagine that I am. 8.59. Maybe the mile I have measured out is really more than a mile . . . I really need that Garmin 305, dontcha think? :-)

The Firecracker 5K is in 3 weeks-I'm hoping 2 of my 3 boys will run with me. Well, maybe not with me-they are much faster than I. Today I bought running shoes (his first pair) for the middle boy's b'day. I've never paid that much for my running shoes!

I leave this verse with you:

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14

May we be women who are filled with Grace and Truth!

  1. Time with friends is so precious isn't it? How fun that 2 of your sons are going to run with you! Can't wait to hear all about the race in July.

    Amen, I want to be a woman filled with Grace and Truth!
