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.

Just heard some awful news.  A woman I visit-taught (when I lived in Lehi) was shot and killed by her husband in an LDS Stake Center parking lot today.  Her name...Christy Ragsdale.  It happened around 11am this morning.  She left behind two toddler boys, ages 3 and 1 1/2.  Her husband turned himself in.  Saw it on the news and it still hasn't sunken in.  I feel so bad for her little boys and her family.  Very, very sad.

Ran in Springville with Ali this morning.  Hard to tell just how many miles we did; I think it was 8 or so.  Left S.F. to get out of the wind but faced some pretty bad stretches anyway.  The slushy roads had frozen and that made it difficult.  We were either slipping or running too close to traffic.  We spent a good part of our run talking about the murder of Christy Ragsdale yesterday.  Having a hard time thinking about anything else.  How tragic, how sad!  Glad to have my run in for the morning.  Nine weeks pregnant.

Time  1:15  (I think.  Problems with my watch.)

Did an easy S.F. loop with Amber this morning.  Faced a bit of wind toward the end of our run, but the conditions weren't too bad overall.  We ran about 9 miles.

S.F. was a winter wonderland this morning.  Temp was about freezing, so not too cold.  It snowed the entire time.  Amber and I collected snow flakes on our eyelashes.  We ran on at least a couple inches of powder and although not a quick pace, at least it wasn't slick.  It was pretty nice actually, not many people out on the roads yet.  We did a loop from 8th East toward the old highway, past the movie theater and then Macey's, a few blocks west of main, back on 3rd South, a loop around Scenic (to drop off Amber) and then home.

I continue to brace myself for a morning where I meet my limit in conditions that I'm unwilling to run in.  January is the worse winter month, hopefully I can get through it.  So far, so good.  Thanks Amber for such a great run!

Ran over to Amber's to meet for this mornings run.  She ended up sleeping through her alarm; I was actually relieved not to find her (no offense Amber).  I felt pretty awful this morning, so returned home and slept another 2 hours before having to get up with my kids.  Ugh.

Ran with Amber and Ali.  There was no wind heading East on Canyon (which is UNHEARD of in the winter) so we switched up our route.  Ran East then dropped down into the River Bottoms, which ended up not being too bad.  There was little traffic and I haven't run down there in a while, which was a nice change.  Jumped back up into the neighborhoods and onto Scenic.  The three of us split ways at the Jr. High and all headed home.

Temple loop in Provo; not too eventful of a run this morning.  Distance is approximate.  Met up with the Sojourners', not many showed up.  A fair amount of waiting around prevented me from getting a mile or two more in.  (Had to get back home for a bridal shower.)  About half way into the run practically everyone split and finished on their own.
