Here We Go Again!

I just signed up for my second half marathon, and am super excited to start running again.  There is absolutely nothing better after a long day than putting on my running shoes, turning on some of my favorite music, and hitting the pavement.  I never thought I would become THAT person, but I have, and I love it!  I love the way it makes me feel, I love early mornings on the bay, and I love the changes I am seeing to my body.  I've already lost 6 lbs. and all of my pants are loose.  Pretty soon, I'm going to have an excuse to go shopping that the hubster can't refuse. ;)  (We have a deal right now that I will cut down on my shopping habits since we are now a single income.  Saying it has been hard for me is an understatement.)  If you haven't taken up this hobby already, I highly recommend it.  If you need motivation, sign up for a 5k and go from there.  Trust me, you'll hate it at first, but keep pushing and I guarantee, you'll feel the same way I do.  Here's to a faster time and the added bonus of weight loss!  Cheers!

The Simple Things.

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls. -Mother Theresa
