Personal:

Married.  Stay at home mom.  My husband and I have 2 daughters and 4 sons.  And I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

With a seemingly impossible long-term goal of running a sub 3 hour marathon, the following scriptures give me hope:

In your patience possess ye your souls. Luke 21:19

But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. James 1:4

But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. Romans 8:25

Submit cheerfully and with patience to all the will of the Lord.         Mosiah 24:15

And Ezra teaches that discipline and patience are born of disappointment.

An easy 8 miles, here in S.F. with Amber this morning.  Felt much better today, no gut issues.  I'm tired of the cold, not much I can do about it though.  Glad I have buddies that help me get through it, by running with me.

Time 1:15

On an interesting note, I have checked my resting heart rate periodically over the last few days...most often while reading a good book and relaxing.  I counted beats during a full minute (instead of part of a minute and then multiplying to get my heart rate).  I was curious what an accurate resting heart rate would be for me, now that I'm pregnant.  More often than not, the number I got was 49 beats per minute.  The lowest, only once, was 47 BPM.  During the day, while moving about, it's typically around 69 BPM.  I wish I had checked it during the summer when I was in my best shape.  Wonder if it has changed.  Is your resting heart rate any slower when you're sleeping than when you're awake but relaxing?  Just some things to chew on.
