November Nonsense

Day 1 of Hood to Coast training. It was a good run and we (Rachael and I) even saw a rainbow! It was hard but training has gotten better! I love cold weather running. It sure beats 90 degree weather!

If you look close at the picture above, there is a rainbow!

 Post Day 1 Picture! I like to tell myself that nothing is worse than that first day of training.

                                           A nice moment captured by Rachael. I felt yucky!

Days 2 and 3 were runs in Scappoose! I love running there instead of Beaverton because there is far less traffic to deal with and a lot of gorgeous views to take in! We also got to run with 2 other girls from small group which I feel makes time go by a lot faster.

Training Day 4

Today (Training Day 4) was a mental run. I knew I could do it, it was just a matter of actually getting out the door. Rachael is a big help. She motivates me to get out there a Just Do It! (All credits to Nike for that line.) After the run today, I felt great and happy that I got out there and got it done. 

**On a different note: Rachael got baptized on Sunday! It was a glorious day! I got to get in the pool with her and be right along side of her as she made public her decision to follow Christ. It was a day that I had hoped and prayed would come for a long time. God continues to amaze me with the things he can do.
