Tonight I ran 5 in 50. I was there in the moment, feeling the pull of my muscles, the air in my lungs and the sweat fall down my face. It was ALL there tonight; it was amazing. Tonight's run reminded me of why I do this and why I get so much enjoyment out of it. I AM a runner. This is what I was made to do. This weekend is an easy 1 hour run; which equates to 6 miles...but next week will be the challenge - 13 miles on Saturday. I can do it; I know I can. I have done it 5 times before this! (they've just been a little more grand than what I have in mind. :-) ) I will map out my run during the week and get myself psyched up for it. I have an idea of what I would like to do. Of course, it has to be outdoors. I couldn't bear the thought of being on a treadmill that long! I am looking forward to this first milestone.
The puppies are doing so well. Baxter seems like a new dog, which the vet said would probably happen, and Lily is mending nicely. I will need to take both of them in to see Dr. Scott next week, and I am expecting a good report. They are such great animals. I am just so thankful that there was nothing terminal going on with Lily and her lumps. Many prayers were answered throughout this week. Thank God I don't have to be planning when I will lose her. She is my little diva. I want to keep her around for a while.
School is going great. I really enjoy my two professors, especially Finance (Gallinger). He is very knowledgeable and has taught us a lot in the small amount of time that we have been there. So I am just chugging along right now; first paper due in a month. I have already started my research. Only 3 more months...just can't even express my excitement.
So, all is good right now! :-)
