Man, go away for two weeks and now I have butt-loads of entries to catch up on reading. Europe was everything I wanted it to be. It was perfect weather, and everything was perfect, and God is so...

Today I am thankful that I did it! I accomplished my first 10K run, and got the medal and I’m a winner! I mean, I got in 836th place out of 1450+ people… so I wasn’t last… that’s pretty cool. ...

---

We did very little, and it was the best. Friday night we went to the fair in the town where Ben grew up. $15 to get in, all the free food you could eat (I love food! I had a few bites of pork o...

---

Today I am thankful for my job. As much as I may not want to be here, it’s nice to be secure in the fact that I have a pay cheque coming every two weeks. And honestly, this job is pretty great....

---

So, I decided to try running again this morning, despite all of my problems on Monday evening with my knee hurting, and me not being able to run hardly at all. So I got up early (5:00 a.m. Ya. ...

---

I don’t know what happened, but this weekend went by SO quickly. The whole time the weekend was going, I was asking it to slow down. Friday night we did a HUGE grocery shop at costco. YAY for h...

---

I’m PMSing pretty hard right now, and pretty well want to eat everything I can think of. So I stopped at the gluten free bakery last night for a donut, which I ate on the way to the store to buy...

---

Ran yesterday, and my knee hurt… and then it hurt all day. I decided to take today off running. Perhaps I’ll do some stretches and strength building, and get back at it tomorrow to see how it f...

---

Today is already better. The exercise I got this morning helped, but the fact that the sun is shining helps more I think. My run this morning was pretty poor. I couldn’t seem to go more than 5 ...

---

It’s raining here today. A bus slowed almost to a stop right beside me while I was walking to work, and at first it kind of freaked me out, because it wasn’t a bus stop. But then I looked over ...

---

After a whole week off running, due to not feeling 100% well (and maybe a bit of laziness) I got back out there this morning. 5:30 a.m. my alarm went, and I hopped out of bed, and was on my way...

---

Last night I got home from a long day away (first work, then straight to a birthday party). I snuggled my Jake Cat and then fed him, and then my husband snuggled him as well. Then hubby went to...

---

So, I learned to spell accommodations. I think that is something to be proud of. In other news, last night I booked our accommodations in Paris and Rome for the beginning and end of our trip, be...

---

Well, I took two days off running and did some body weight training. My muscles are sore from it, but today was my day to get back out there and hit the pavement. Here is how I did: Total time ...

---

Boring entry, mostly this is to keep track just for me: I ran a total of 30 minutes this morning, the longest interval being 18 minutes! I also walked for 13 minutes in between runs. I traveled 4...

---

So, I’ve added regular runs to my schedule, as well as regular workouts, so hopefully seeing it on my calendar will help me to skip out less. I’m going to start some strength training as well as...

---

This morning I actually got up with my alarm at 5:30 a.m., but ended up crawling back into bed after my morning pee because I was too tired to force myself out of the door for my run. BUT this mo...

---

I’ve been stuck in my running at 15 minutes, I couldn’t go longer. I kept getting cramps and having to take a walk break… my goal is to keep increasing my time until I can run a full 30 minutes…...

---

Well, I took Jake to the vet yesterday. We don’t actually own a proper carrier, but we have a collapsible cardboard carrier that we got when we brought him home from the humane society, so I jus...

---

So, I’m pretty certain we’ve cleared up Jake’s ear mites… but this morning I had the revelation that he may have a bladder infection or something. I’ve noticed that he’s peed in places other tha...

---

I’m feeling angsty today. Just dissatisfied. It’s not hard to annoy me today. It may be the stress of work, as it’s a short week and I have extra work since we’re doing an extra service this w...

---

I need to brag on Ben a bit. I was sick this weekend, when we were at a retreat with friends and just wanting to have fun. My stomach was turning and it was just not a pretty site, so I spent a...

---

I just wanted to share, and I thought I’d share it here instead of on another social media site, because I know no one really cares, but I care, and this is my journal, so there! Anyway, my victo...

---

The sermon at church this Sunday was meant for me. I’m glad I went. I almost didn’t. I had the best clothing swap party ever this past weekend. Plus invited a lady who sells all natural produc...

---

Why can’t I love the people that Jesus loved the most? The broken, the liars, the drunks and drug abusers. Every day I’m faced with it, and everyday I interact with these people, and everyday th...
