So I haven't written since my injury. I was really upset by it and took the week off. I came back around last week and ran a couple short distances, followed up by ice packs. :) I accomplished a cautious 7 day work out last week in anticipation of having to take it easy this week. In addition to my short runs (4-6 miles), I did yoga, weight lifting, and a zumba class.
I ran the Azalea 10K Saturday and had SO MUCH FUN. The weather was GORGEOUS. My energy was great and the Azaleas were in full bloom. I conquered the ridiculous hill that is Robertson Ave and my speed picked up towards the end. In fact, I sprinted through the finish line to beat the woman in front of me..Ha! The official times were just posted and I beat my fastest time by 5 minutes! I ran 6.2 miles in 55 minutes and 15 seconds. So, as you can tell, my spirits are high.
The plan this week? Not too much. I ran 3 miles today and I'll probably do two classes. The Tough Mudder is Saturday and I'm trying not to think about it. I am as prepared as I can be. I'm just ready for it to be behind me.
On a different note, I started a Bible study call A Woman's Heart: God's Dwelling Place. I've been looking forward to a deeper study of God's word... craving it almost. In the first week we are being challenged to identify where we are. God asked Adam where he was because his sin hid him. God is wanting to meet up with me.. craving to spend time with me. He is asking me "Where are you? I want to meet you."
So where am I?
Parenting in a whirlwind of 3 small children.
Trying to be a wife that is supportive, respectful, and adoring.
Running the house smoothly as Brock travels with work.
Juggling my part-time job, PTA obligations, and the kids activities.
Challenging myself physically.
Worried about my two brothers and the life that is before them.
Craving to hear God speak to me and see Him work.
This is where I am. Right now. On March 26. 2012. What will God say to me during our time together these next weeks??
