Check Mark

I can finally put a gigantic check mark on the week and recycle the schedule. My goodness. With the drama of the car accident, I got to move my 17 mile long run to this morning...Sunday...Mother's Day. Today was the first time I've done a long run after a full training week...especially this training week. I could not have asked for a more beautiful morning, no wind, cool temperatures, balloons in the sky. I love running on Sunday mornings, because when I get to church I feel so good, clean, and accomplished. My heart and mind await in expectation for the message and worship. God is wonderful to me.

Yesterday I was supposed to do a 31 mile tempo ride. I did the 31 miles but not the tempo part. Fortunately, I made a new friend on the road and we did the majority of the ride together. He was truly a Godsend, because I was starting to go downhill fast in my head. I do love my thoughts and myself, but sometimes they turn on me...especially when I'm not feeling so good.

Today is a delightful celebration of all that I hold dear...my family. I am a fortunate soul with a loving, caring husband and kids that are healthy and full of life (sometimes too much). As I walked in the door after my run, they had already gone to Egg & I to fetch me a yogurt/fruit sundae and muffin. Yummity yum. What a treat after 3 hours on the road.

Looking forward to church, lunch and hopefully a good, solid nap.

Week #31 down...only 7 left. Amazing!
