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."

Don't Speak

Don't speak...in this case, don't type.

I got online yesterday to see when the online registration closed for Porter's Half Marathon.
Well shuckie darn it closed Sunday night at midnight.

But I opened my mouth....
I told Susette it was closed but if there was a way that we could still sign up....we would.

DON'T SPEAK!!

After an email I found out that they were going to open the registration ONE. MORE. DAY.

You guessed it, I signed us up.

What have I DONE???

Doran didn't find out until he got home from work last night.
He was wondering what I was thinking and to be honest....I was too.

So we were sticking to our training schedule and yesterday was THREE miles.
So we went up and tried a new route which was pretty good however Doran was staying with my pace and I went a little too fast in the beginning. My quads were still sore from Saturday's run. I wore myself out before I even hit 2 miles but we finished our 3 miles in 28 minutes.

I now have sore quads, and my right knee hurts.
I went walking this morning with my mom. We made it almost 3 miles but I am SORE.

I need to get some stretching and rolling on the foam roller and somehow refresh my legs.

Oh and I tried my new shoes out yesterday. Worked like a charm! No sore toes! Well at least on my left foot.
