GOOD MORNING!

What a refreshing day! And it's not even 8:00am yet! Okay well barely by the time I finish this. I took my first morning run this morning and it was awesome. We decided that in order for me and Jerod to be able to run on busy days like today, I needed to run in the morning and that way he could run at night. He really doesn't like me running at night or real early in the morning but we compromised that if the sun was up, it was okay. So 7am came, and off I went. It is a cool morning with very little wind which was an answered prayer for me. I ran the 3 miles that we have measured out and was back home within 40 minutes. Not bad right? I can't run the whole 3 miles without stopping so don't begin to think too high of me. Jerod can though so feel free to think of him as a superhuman...I'm beginning too. : ) No, I ran for one song, and then walked until I caught my breath and then ran again. I know I probably didn't run as much as I am suppose to right now, but after being off the schedule for a month, this is just what I need. Robin and I have thrown the schedule out the window and decided that we are just going to run 3 miles a day until our official training starts. That gives us 2 weeks to strengthen our bodies and push ourselves a little harder every day. With my injury and with her being sick, we've both missed a lot of our "pre-training" schedule and so this works really well for us. Then our official training schedule starts and we run 3 miles a day for the first 2 weeks except for our "big" runs on the weekend so I think it will work out well. We are still in there trying and doing the best we can for us right now. I truly believe that is all God wants from us...our best. And as we push ourselves a little more every time we run, our best will get better. We are still 4 months away from our 26.2 goal...I know we can do it. That is a lot of training days. Will they all be easy? Absolutely not, but as long as we do our best, then we are succeeding. God Bless You on this wonderful day!
