Love is in the Air

Valentine's Day has come and went. My Valentine didn't give me flowers, chocolate or even a card. I'm OK with that because you will see at the end of my blog post why my Valentine is the best.;)

Yesterday, I decided to do one of my virtual races,  Fit 4 Life Love Run Half Marathon.

I started my run about 2:30 in the afternoon and started with my normal 3.10 mile route, using our garage as my "refuel" station. I used my "refuel station" two more times before starting out on the longer part of my run. 

I got to mile 8 and it was quite a struggle. The road I was on has a slight incline but that wasn't what made it difficult. I was running towards Lake Michigan and the wind was so incredibly

cold. I finally got up that road and my phone was going off with low battery.

I got back to my house with 11.24 miles done. I had to finish the last 1.90 mile on my treadmill but it was worth it.

The best part of my run was when I got home and my fiance's Mom "chewed" me out for being gone so long and telling me that I need to stay close to home. I told Todd where I was going but neglected to tell her…oops…Sorry Mom…Lol.

Oh Yeah, before I forget…this is what I got for Valentine's Day

This girl has a Cadillac!!! 

Stink'in Think'in

I have been struggling the last few days with a negative attitude.   I'm probably being just petty but sometimes I just need to take a stand. I thought running on my treadmill tonight would help get rid of my stink'in think'in but my running app messed up and I just quit. NOW I KNOW I HAVE A PROBLEM.
I decided to message my Pastor's wife and ask her for some advise and so Bible verses to help me work through these thoughts. She gave me some Awesome verses which I had already had hightlighted in my Bible.
One of my favorite verses is this:

PHILIPPIANS 4:4 Rejoice in the LORD always: and again I said Rejoice.

Sometimes it is so hard to be a happy person. With a name like mine, it would be a contradiction to be a grumpy "young" woman. I was really grateful for my Pastor's wife's wisdom. She knew just what to give me. I started reading some other verses that coincides with my some what healthy living that uplifted my soul.  Thank you Mrs. Abberger...I love you

HEBREWS 12:1
Wherefore seeing we also are compressed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every WEIGHT and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us RUN with patience the RACE that is set before us.

Tomorrow will be a better day!!!
