Great run this morning.  I'm going to have to stop calling my running "slow" soon because I am getting faster!  I've started wearing my running watch again and it helps me focus some. I love the peace and quiet of a run.

Great little run.  Starting to feel too short.

I hit the wall this morning.  And not the running wall.  Just the everything wall.  Too many nights of less than 5 hours of sleep (counting wakings), worn down from taking care of the 5 little bouncing boys I love.  My husband was out later doing missionary work last night after his work day, and then I stayed up to get some housework done.  Then at 5 a.m. when my alarm went off I could see lightening lighting up the backyard again and again, and I thought, this must be the morning I don't run.  

But that's okay.  Marathon training is like that for me.  I do what I can to prepare, and on race day, I line up and see what I have.  Sometimes I wonder if Boston is too lofty of a goal for me at this time in my life.  But then I tell myself, no goal is too lofty.  I might not nail it this year, but someday...  The Lord knows what's in me.  He keeps encouraging me, so I keep trying. :)

Ah, the sweetness of a new day.  Ran 8 miles, had scripture and prayer with beautiful boys, made (or revised) a couple lunches, kissed heads and bid them farewell for the day, changed a few diapers, and now I can think about a shower.

I'm homeschooling!  Just one of them.  He is at a history camp today, though, so this is an easy way to start.  Now to tackle the day, and try and get some organization underway.  I am grateful, so ever grateful for the gift of running.
