Hello to my girls. Hannah you are right lets get this blog going. This last year has been a blur but here I am and I am still working out. The last few months I have had very little desire to work out but I just keep doing it knowing that getting out of shape is just not worth it. Every time I run my legs are HEAVY!! I feel like I am dragging. BUT, today was the first time in a run in a while that I felt like I had a bounce to my step a bit.
I am doing the half marathon in Lincoln, May 1st. We will be flying back to run and then flying right back to Virginia. I am especially excited because Jake is doing it too. That is the main reason I am doing it. I prefer shorter races but I will do it with him. i have always wanted to do something like this with Jake.
I am struggling in every way right now, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, physically. Working out, even though it has been very hard to keep going, has been a very good thing for me right now. I feel hope and I am thankful.
I hear ya Hannah. Although I love to work out, may I treasure Christ above all. May I run after HIM!!!!

let's do this
Time to get this blog (and our bodies!) fired up for this brand new year! What's everyone doing for workouts recently? I have been just ITCHING to get in a good routine.
Our little William turned ONE last week, and though I am still breastfeeding, it is time to get some new motivation! I've been out on the ice and snow a few times over the past weeks. I was ill all last week, and when I finally got out for some fresh air (yesterday), I cried out to GOD and thanked Him for His faithfulness to me! Even when we are down, ill, beaten, de-motivated, He is still so faithful. He never changes! I realized how much I take my own health for granted.
As I yearn to enter a new season of fitness dedication with a new fitness plan or race training or something to get me going, I am reminded of this one thing:
"Rather train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come." 1 Tim 4:7b-8
I pray my desire to sweat it and get fit never supercedes my desire for godliness!
Now, come on girls! Whadda you got?
