Today's Thought

"Neither Satan nor any other power can weaken or destroy your growing character. Only you could do that through disobedience. That is why Satan is so intently focused on tempting you to make decisions that will undermine your character. Satan is an accomplished master at making devastating choices appear attractive, even reasonable. So be careful. At this critical time of life you will be faced with many choices. The decisions you will make will profoundly affect life now and for eternity. Make them wisely and prayerfully."

Practice makes....

A. SORE. BODY. Well not mine anyway. I rode my tricycle.

As most of you know I am not running because of my foot problem so I am sitting on the couch eating and getting plump. (Doran needs more of me to love eh?)

BUT....Doran is a HEman and he is still pounding the pavement.

For a few weeks we have been trying to get down to Provo to practice running on the Utah Valley Half Marathon route with Susette. Things kept getting in the way but we FINALLY made it on the day that they are to do 9 miles. I rode my bike and played water girl.

We didn't go on the hwy where the REAL race will be but we did go on the bike/walking path next to it and it was GORGEOUS!! The river was super full and ready to spill over on the path.

I was impressed that Susette didn't complain AT all!! I would be pouting because my legs hurt or my foot hurt or my pinkie finger nail hurt. Psha! She is a gem. She had her music up a little loud because when I tried to talk to her she was in la la land. I had to get her attention first. After every song she would throw her hands up and YELL the song number she was at. Here she is....not waving to me but yelling her song number.

I do believe she is sticking her tongue out at me...sheesh!
We passed a beautiful waterfall with ducks swimming in the pool. The didn't stop to pose. How rude.
Susette finished 8 miles. Doran completed 11 by running ahead and back and running ahead and back.
I wish this path was closer to home so we could enjoy it more!!

Then we stopped by Cortney's work on the way home and had a "healthy snack". Oh ya baby!!! This was a necessity, not a desire.
 That's all folks.
