333/365

Today I woke up early knowing that I needed to run 20 miles.  Considering the weather has been fairly warm the last few days, I thought it would be a good idea to get going before it became really hot.  I went to a new running trail that has ben converted into a path on the old railway through the city.  It is a 6 mile loop.
The run felt really great, much better than my 16 mile run 2 weeks ago.  The last 2 miles did seem rather long but I made it and the worse part was walking up the stairs to where our car was parked!

On Friday, the area by the old train station becomes an open market.  I took a few pictures but not many because my legs were yelling at me :)


Oh, and I did buy some new running shoes and have been pleased with them over the last 3 weeks.

20 miles down... 6.2 to go!

I'm impressed with your stamina. Danette ran in a 1/2 marathon this fall and I thought that was a major accomplishment! Love your posts

Busy Couple Days

We have had a busy couple days trying to get everything together for our trip. My mother came over the end of last week and it has been so helpful. I have been able to do errands and gather our needed supplies for the trip. I haven't taken many pictures but we have had a fun time and the boys have enjoyed their time as well. Friday we did the majority of our packing and tonight we are going to finish up. Yesterday, we enjoyed some time at a playground in the morning. In the afternoon, my mom and Sam went to see Toy Story 3 (his first big screen movie) while Hap, Andrew and myself went to a birthday party. Sam got these glasses pictured below at Wendy's yesterday and we might try and see if security stops him in the airport:) This evening we had our last team meeting and it was a wonderful time of praying and sharing about what God has been teaching us as we prepare for this trip. We know that it seems odd to some that we would take our children literally half way around t...

On Saturday, Nathan, Heather and Caleb came for a visit.  We had an absolutely beautiful day, and we wanted to spend the day outside.  Some people had recommended Maymont Park.  Maymont is a park that is hundreds of acres with a stone castle and barn, some animals, and lots of space for the boys to run around. Andrew wanted to get his boots wet and Aunt Heather supervised.  I am glad we crated more boots! The walk with beautiful and we enjoyed visiting along the way. There was lots of rock climbing... and lots of goats! Jacob and Caleb did a great job riding around in the strollers, but needed some time to stretch too! I love this picture of Nathan and Caleb.  He is such a great daddy and I love to see him with Caleb. Sam enjoyed a cigar at the park too.  (I joke!) The little babies ate some grass. Andrew found the cows and wanted to pet them. Sam, Andrew, Nathan and Hap found a great rock to jump off of.  Sam was fearless and surprised u...
