and the beat goes on... and on!

It's November!!!! wow, I know i keep saying this but it seems like the year is flying right by. I'm not quite sure how I feel about that. A part of me is super-stoked and part of me wishes the year would slow down a little bit so I could get a lot more done. *SIGH*

It's 22 days to half-marathon!!!! I still have quite a long way to go with my training but I'm pushing myself twice as much now. It's kinda crazy having to wake up at 6:15/6:30am in the fall (it's freeeezing in SC - typically about 30F when i'm leaving home in the morning) to go running! Heck, it's hard enough getting out of the house to go running when the weather's perfect. But i'm not complaining - I gave myself this assignment and it's quite satisfying to know that I've gotten a 5mile run out of the way, showered and had breakfast by 9am! I feel kinda.. umm... brand new? lol.

I actually added some yoga now to my workout routine....so I'm gonna be doing yoga every other day. So far I've had 2 yoga "classes" and they went okay - could've been better. It's kinda hard getting back into it after months of cheating on it with running :) But I like the fact that it gives me a good stretch, amongst other things, especially after a long run. Am I doing too much? I guess i'll find out within the next week. I got a sprained ankle after about 4 miles of running this morning and i pushed myself to the 5th mile thinking it'd go away... and now i'm limping! lol....it hurts like &*(^%($ but i'll be fine. I'll ice it when I get back home later in the day!!!

**cheese alert** Oh, I told boyfriend i'll blog this so here goes - I love that he calls me randomly, out of the blue, just to say "I love you, I appreciate you". He actually says it everyday but every once in a while he specifically stops to tell me that he appreciates me. He said "It's easy to take things for granted when it's been a while... but everyday I realize i'm living my dream with you." It's been almost 6yrs now that we've been dating *gasp* ... (1yr if you actually just count face-time - lol!) ... but thankfully, it feels nothing like it! I still look forward to our tomorrows :) **cheese done**

What else? what else?! ... are there times in your life when you specifically feel like God is interceding on your behalf? I mean, i know constantly know this, somewhere at the back of my mind, but there are specific days when it's sooo apparent - it's staring me right in the face! I see nothing but God's love... TODAY is one of those days! I feel extra blessed and no, I didn't win the lottery or get a new car or anything like that. I just woke up! Thank you Lord!

Ok, i'll get back to work now. A lot to accomplish and the year is running away.... *stooop!*
