Thur. 10/08/09

Yay! I've finally caught up with all you faithful bloggers! =) Thanks so much for getting this going and sharing such wonderful and heart-filled stories. I am so blessed to have each of you as teammates and friends - and am especially thankful for your attitude/focus on God. It really encourages and challenges me to recenter my mindset and goals on Christ.

Just a quick little synopsis about today:
Another beautiful early October morning at Discovery Park for a 7am fartlek. Marg's favorite workout at Marg's favorite place! :) and Mary got to wear her glasses today instead of contacts because she had chemistry lab later ;) [she was quite pleased about it really]. Anyway, it was a beautiful morning and while everyone else did their workout, I got to walk around the park and eat blackberries and watch out for their guard-spiders! :) [Don't worry, I did a hard bike workout and weights when we got back...] It sounded like most everyone had a really good workout - Kate was starting to feel a little more like herself, Kelsey's knee didn't bother her at all, Natty still felt good, Kassandra said she felt good... all in all, it was a very positive morning. We did miss Lisa who was not feeling well, and the pre-regional racers who decided to sleep in...
Kayla and Lauren also had an amazing workout later this morning - they did this same workout last week, only this week they covered a lot more distance! i.e. they were running a lot faster! Yay ladies! :)

I have been feeling a lot better this week - my foot has been making great improvements! I can now walk almost indefinitely without pain, and I was even able to do some light elyptical last night! So that is a huge praise! So Please keep praying!!

I would write more, but I think I'll go to bed instead. But cadre was really good tonight! Natty brought part of a sermon from her pastor which was really good! It was about integrating our faith with our work, not keeping them separate, and how God is honored when we work hard and do our best in our work - including running, homework, etc. (Col. 3:23) There was more to it than just that, but that was the #1 part that stuck out to me. We bring glory to God by doing our best at whatever we're doing - even the mundane things like studying for a lab exam, or xtraining... :)

More later! Love you all!
