Rockin' Along

Today was another 3 mile run... AND I did it! I was about 2 minutes faster in time from Tuesday, but I think part of that was due to the threat of rain and the garbage truck. I'm really bad about trying to look good when others are watching (and I don't mean appearance). So every time I'd see the garbage truck, I'd stand up straighter and run a little faster. Sounds crazy, right? I even do it when people come out to get the paper and I see them. Anyway, I think that was one of the reasons why I was a little faster today. There was more moisture in the air, but the cool temperature helped keep it from being too bad. So far this week I've run 8 miles. Wow! And after my 4 miler on Sunday I will have almost ran the half marathon distance. Granted, it was over the course of 4 days, but I still did it. Just proof that I can and will do it.

I'll admit though, this accountability is great. Around 2.5 I was ready to go in the house, and I seriously considered stopping. Of course, then I realized I would have to come here this morning and tell you all that's what I did. I couldn't let myself do that! Especially after I already ran 3 miles on Tuesday. :)

Today is a very special day for three very special people. First, it's my mom and dad's 39th wedding anniversary. I am so blessed to have two fabulous parents. They've been great role models and have shown that good times or bad - love, family and God are all you need to have a fulfilling life.

Second, it's B's 12th birthday!!! Happy Birthday B! I honestly can't believe that next year he'll be an official teenager. Fortunately, he's a really awesome guy, and he loves the Lord. Can't complain about that!

I hope everyone in blog land has a great Thursday! Only one more day, then a nice long three day weekend.
