3

I ran 3 last night on the treadmill at the gym and it was something I just wanted to be done with. I don't know why I hate these shorter runs so much. What is wrong with me? Unless I run something in double digits, I feel sluggish. It's crazy!!!! I remember barely being able to do three miles when I first started.

Someone I knew got on the treadmill next to me and said, "Hey girl!". The time passed pretty quick as we talked about the Mom with 14 kids as the story flashed before us on the flat screen in front of us. The dreadmill was not so bad.

I'm loving how Basketball for Josiah, Dance for Ava Beth and the YMCA is bringing us a community of people. These people are great! This break we have taken from church until we move has been SO AWESOME and it's been amazing how God has totally supplied our relational needs through the activities of our children. It's nice to be back in the real world. The people are so genuine too. God is good! I'm so thankful God gave me my Dad's ability to strike up a conversation with anyone. It's so much fun going to the gym and meeting new people! I LOVE IT!

Knowing me I will come home from the marathon with a new friend. I hope so!
