ok, so it's been forever and a day since I have posted something. I was beginning to wonder myself if I had fallen off the face of the earth. I am happy to report that I have not! I have started to blog a couple times and find that the words have just left me (don't know if you ever have that happen to you, but it happens to me more often than not). Tonight, a friend of mine encouraged me to blog about my marathon training. I will get to that later:-)Lets see....August was a good month...mom and I took a weekend trip to D.C. for Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor rally. It was really awesome! We stayed in a great hotel, ate some yummy food, went to some museums and even caught a cruise to Mt. Vernon. Instead of driving or flying, we took Amtrak up, which was quite fun. It was the first mother-daughter trip and I had a blast.
When I got back to Augusta I found myself in a new job. I am with the same company, but I have been moved from our Graniteville site to our Augusta site. It is more complicated and a lot more work , but I am happy to say that after a month of being there I finally got the swing of things and am in a comfortable routine.
A couple weeks ago we went to Myrtle Beach with some friends for a long weekend(see first pictures!) As usual, I had so much fun and didn't want to come home! It is still my dream to have a beach house / condo one day:-)
Now for the running part.....for the past 6 months I have been training for a full marathon. Our hard work is so close to paying off! I say "our" because I don't think I could have done all of the training without my running buddy, Starla...especially on the extremely hot days and the days where I just wanted to sit on my couch and be lazy while drinking coffee and watching I Love Lucy. Our marathon is in 5 weeks!!! I am feeling more and more confident with my ability to finish this race. Tomorrow is a milestone....18 miles....the most we have ever done. I look forward to reporting how it went:-) The race will be in Kitty Hawk, NC and my family and Starla's mom are coming. I have started to give thought to what my goal will be after the marathon and have come to the conclusion that I will have to start training for a triathlon. Seems a little overwhelming, but 2 years ago if you told me I would be running a marathon I would have laughed at you. It seemed impossible. I see now that it's not. I can't tell you how exciting that is!!!
Is there something you want to do that you don't think is possible? Go for it! (Philippians 4:13 - I can do ALL things through Christ who gives me strength)
