Sweet girls! 3 weeks from today and we will be running the race together!! woohoo!! I am so excited!! How is your training going?? How is everyone feeling mentally and physically?? Love you girls so much and praying for you... xoxo, n 

wowowowowow

i am so excited for real!!!! I was wondering if you guys want to wear anything special or if you are just wanting to wear gym clothes.  I saw some cute minnie mouses there during the marathon and some other cute outfits...we don't have to at all, but it could be fun and cute. or we can dress like princesses.  

I have a constantly popping hip and i popped it out the other day and now it won't pop back! i can run but it is extremely awkward (new sort of feet placement!) so ya that is my hurdle now! 

6 weeks and 3 days!

6 weeks and 3 days till the race!!! I am so excited!!!! :)

its getting closer!!

ah! I can't believe its january and our race is next month! how is everyone doing with running? I am finding it is hard to balance work and running along with life and my work trainings, plus hw (from my work trainings) and getting 16 3rd graders ready to pass the FCAT! My body just does not want to cooperate and seems to not be able to get over this sickness! boo.  I have been trying to go to bed early and then run on the days im feeling good, and praying for strength from the Lord. I am so excited about the race and sometimes wish there were more hours in the day :) but so far, I am up to 9 miles. so i am praying that the Lord provides time. it is only by His grace I can even walk each day, so its definitely His power that I can run this race and do life each day :) been thinking about you all a lot. i miss you. love you so very much. xoxo, n

Sports Bra :)

So I bought a new sports bra today = AWESOME!

but the part worth sharing is what was on the tag.

a fit woman is a powerful woman.

You all are powerful because you love Jesus and because He gives you the motivation and the skills to be fit. you take ownership of those gifts and put them to use.

Keep up the running loves.

Christmas Break Bootcamp

Precious, precious time. I don't know about you girls, but I have very little of it to spare. Running has been on the back burner and it is making me nuts. Even on the weekends it is just plain hard to find the time. School is HARD. Like whoa. I suppose there is a reason that I will earn a Master's degree at the end of this...you think? That being said. Christmas Break Bootcamp here I come. Back on track and on schedule. I am motivated and excited. Woo Hoo. Florida you better watch out!

Love,

C.

email!

it made me slightttly nervous.

Hard and Prayers

Okay girlies. So things around here have been difficult lately. In a heart wrenching why is this world so broken and how are people SO wicked sort of way. About a month ago, a freshman boy went missing for several days and was found dead in the ocean just not too far from campus. It was very disturbing and the whole campus community has risen up, like we do in the face of sadness and pain and bonded and protected each other. It is quite beautiful actually. But, just this evening a girl was assaulted with a gun on the trail that I take to get to and from school daily. I found out that this happened a couple hours before I was free to go home. That is scary. Two men with a gun attacked this girl and they were not caught. This is the BEAUTIFUL trail that I have told you girls about. I know that Jesus was there with that girl holding her hand and I pray that she felt it. He is holding her heart as she heals tonight, I know it. I truly believe that trail is His sanctuary. Nobody but Jesus creates beauty like that and nobody but Satan and his most wicked and defile it they way it has been. It makes me angry and scared and sad. I am boiling inside and ready to fight. I LOVE to run that trail as do SO many people in this community. It is one of my most favorite parts about the people here, they are so friendly and outdoorsy and trusting and all about being green. So many people would rather bike or walk, on this trail, because it helps to preserve the incredible nature that we all enjoy. Wickedness is ruining it. Please pray for healing and redemption of this town and of this trail. Jesus has authority here. Jesus loves this place. He will win. He will conquer. He has authority here.

All that being said. It is dark here a lot. It is dark until fairly late in the morning and it gets dark again before I get home for school. I can't run on the trails in the dark because it isn't safe and I'm not really convinced that the streets are either. I'm not really sure what to do. I may have to suck it up and deal with the treadmill :( Running is getting hard...getting hard. HA. its been hard. But still its getting harder! and I seriously lack motivation to run on a treadmill...ick. I know I need to be safe though. I love you girls and I am so proud of you and every mile that you have run. Keep it up beautiful princesses!
