like the feet of a deer
"For who is God except the LORD? And who is a rock besides our God?– the God who girded me with strength, and made my way safe. He made my feet like the feet of a deer, and set me secure on the heights."

cj=scrunchie face
wednesday-What I WANTED to do & wish I had time for~
What I did: covered about 11 miles today: walked about 4, and ran about 7 (slow)~
walked 3 miles to gram’s, stopped in for a bit, then walked to the 1 mile mark near AHS. Ran (slow!) up that Hill, to doggy hill on sleight and turned round- but ran only 7. I was pretty sore. Needed a gel and water at mile 5. Really do need the full year to get prepared for the 25k without any injuries!
CJ had a short scrunchie face episode again today. I wish he liked school. He’s such a bright and energetic boy. It really saddens me- I loved school, Si and Nat love it. I have a hard time understanding that about him, although I understand the other ADHD aspects… probably since I have them too!
It was simply gorgeous out today- a good day for 11 miles
got a lot done too.
So now you can imagine I am ready to crash .
Here’s a great link to a live Beck stream~

happy halloween~~~~~
 
Natie’s school pics are in
CJ’s party today- wow….he was already wound up BEFORE the sweets. Kids are awesome, you know? They are honest and say what they feel. although that can many times be quite embarrassing . They had a 1/2 day so we had lots of time to carve the pumpkins and clean up, etc.
Been bad about blogging~ sang both services sunday, and Monday and today flew right by. About to go trick or treating with the kids, who told me that they did NOT want to go since yesterday, and NOW of course, they do. So we’ll just go down the road a little bit to visit the neighbors and their Hersheys sienna is of course with alex and sarah~

keeping my family in chuckle mode
Finally a break in the rain….had Chris drop me off at the high school, then began my journey for part of the 25k training route. Walked the first 2 miles (since the hill is unforgiving, plus I didn’t know where the mile marks were, I wanted to warm up, I’m a wimp, etc..) Walked the 2, went potty at Gram’s (more on that after) then ran. What was pretty cool was the fact that Uncle Mike was just arriving back into LaGrange and saw me on the road~ so i told him my plan, but then a mile later, up gram’s road, i decided to make a pit-stop since I’d had so much coffee earlier! I ran in, told them i really wasn;t there, gave them a good laugh (i look pretty comical in my run gear, fuel belt, ipod, etc!) Uncle mike was laughing the most
Only did 10k in 1 hour-wanted to do more of 25k route. Then it really threatened rain (and got windy) so I couldn’t go the 8 I’d planned, and turned around earlier.
Hollywood Freaks = my new running tune. I love crazy funny stuff to run to. It keeps me interested. When you are running for an hour or more, your thought and prayers can only take you so far, you know?
Well, I should be heading out the door with the Fam to Gram’s so we can laugh all over again…and EAT and have chris’ cake!
Changing the 5 million clocks tonight then singing both services tomorrow~~~

TGIT
6.5 miles plus 2.5 walk….tried a small bit of the 25k route. Walked to the mile marker 3 and ran on from there to mile 7 and back.That part is pretty easy- the part I’m most familiar with But I simply won’t be ready for 15.5 in less than a month.
Took Gram for her hair, then had to swing over to Nat’s school to pick her up early~her eye is bothering her, and I’m hoping it’s not pink-eye. So tomorrow am we may be MD bound. We’ll also run to the mall for shopping and Chris’ gift. Then another run.
*sigh*
I’m getting a cold and starting to look like…

Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer…and it’s not even Halloween yet.
Yaay! No school tomorrow!

25k ponderings~or, why you should never do drugs in your high school years!
Thinking of attempting the 25k Turkey Trot either this Thanksgiving or next….It’s a LONG one. 25k= about 15.5 miles! I have only covered 13.1 in the past, and this would be long for me. Yikes, I’m picturing myself walking the last 2 miles. But I’ll try the route in the next few days, and see if I live through it.
We start at the high school,
then go up Cramer,
onto Old Overlook
& back to Overlook
a right unto Sleight Plass (my fave road)
and then
south road to 44 to Traver
then to Freedom road and
back to the high school!
If not this year, next. I’ll have a full year to recover from the irrational thinking, right But this may be the closest I get to a marathon
Today was a "rest day’ for me although I didn’t really rest. I baked and baked and baked. ETC.
CJ had a rough day at school, and lost his temper when he became frustrated with math. I dread it every so often when I arrive to pick him up, and he has a scowl on his face, angry and almost comical. But it’s embarassing. He’s not like that at home, and we don’t act like that around here. So that wasn’t fun. When we got home, he was fine, and said "school is stupid." So we argued and talked about that.
Busyyyy days ahead….tomorrow I drive Gram to an appointment, then run, then meet her and aunt so for lunch and help around the house, give her meds, etc.Then after school Natalie wants to get Chris something for his birthday with her life savings (!) of $16.00.
I think that is so cute. So Friday, Uncle Mike comes in from Fl and it’s Chris’ birthday! I want to wine and dine him at Outback Steakhouse but right now I have a total of $20.00. We’ll see what the Lord provides .We’re planning to celebrate his birthday saturday w/ everyone though.

short and sweet
AM:appx 10 mile ride in 39 minutes- chilly….rode into the wind seemingly for the whole bike ride,so it felt uphill all the way: quite a workout for the quads, but slowed me down considerably.
PM:short and sweet 4.1 mile run in 35:30
Busy day again. Kids had a good day at school, time is flying by, etc etc.

mondaymonday
….a good 6 mile run, 53 minutes~grouchy today though. Had a terrible night sleeping. Kindof overwhelmed. so much to take care of, so many people to listen to, and no concentration power. Just constant bantering around me, I have no time to just THINK! Probably why I enjoyed my run so much tonight.
