New Shoes, New Groove

I had an awful run Saturday (BOOOOO!!!!)
SO I went and bought new shoes (YAY!!!!!!!!)
THEN Daylight savings ended Sunday (YAY!!!!!!!)
AND The sun is up when I run now (YAY!!!!!!!)

I figure 3 out of 4 ain't bad.

This morning was 5 miles, and it was fantabulous! It was dusky when I went out and the sun was shining by the time my first lap was over. It was wonderful weather, comfortable new shoes, and an awesome run. I finished right at an hour, which isn't too bad. The best news is that even with longer distances, I still seem to manage about 12 min per mile. If I can keep that up through 13.1, then I will finish under 3 hours. That's my goal, so I'm sure hoping! Of course, first goal is to finish. :)

I finally got some boosters - beans, bars, jellies, all sorts of stuff. I chewed a few beans this morning - blech! Not so good. Probably because they're cherry and taste like cough drops. Oh well, I'll probably still carry them just in case I need some! I think I'll try the peanut butter chocolate cookie thing tomorrow. Now that sounds good.

This past weekend was fun. I got to see Jacob, the Cossey girls, and Sonya/Trey. That was fun, even if short. I started a new bible study about God's purpose for your life - using your talents and all that great stuff. I think it will be good, and maybe give me some more motivation/enthusiasm/determination/will power to make it through these runs.

And I can't forget - HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NOAH!!! The big 5! Wow... I can still remember running through the halls the day he was born knocking on doors telling everyone. I can also still remember the 12 hours mom and I drove one day to go see him. Love my boys!
