Saturday - On My Own

Today was my first solo run.  J is out of town for work, so I decided that I'd go solo.  And I'm really proud of myself.  I could have chickened out, considering that I had to get out there about an hour earlier than normal since I had a hair appointment at 10am.  But I was determined that I could do this solo.  I'm so glad that I could prove myself right, at least every once in a while.  My run went better than I ever expected.  One reason is that last Sunday the sermon really struck a cord with me and J.  It  was about "AND".  You done "X".... "AND"?  It really makes you think about a lot of things that you could really do.  And that's really when I decided that if I were ever going to run the Cooper River Bridge run that I had to get serious about my running.  I mean, serious, running further and faster.  Have good runs and not just runs that were okay.  So I decided that I had to push myself, and not listen to that little voice that tells us "I'm tired" or "I think my legs are starting to hurt", I had to take the attitude "Mind over matter" and trust God like never before.  And then I got to thinking, okay "And" why am I going to do this, was it just for the Bidge Run??? And then it hit me, there are lots of charities out there that have 5K or 10K runs that are so worthwhile.  So that is the goal, run some of those for charity.  And for now that's my "AND" Goal.  So please pray that I stay focused and committed and not chicken out and definitely not listen to that voice in my head.  

And yes, my hair does look GREAT!  Thank goodness, it was really starting to get on my nerves something terrible.  And not to mention after a 4 miler today, I needed to chill out and it helped pass the time since J was gone.  The weekends are the worst.  And if I might mention, I ended up at Talbots and bought 2 belts for a total of $22!  And a "S" at that, I never thought on any planet that I would ever wear a small!!!  God is Good my friends.

Blessings & "AND",
Magnolia
