Three Weeks And Counting...

Today was a new milestone in my running endevor.  I met Janette, my running buddy, at 5:30 morning and ran 8.71 miles...almost 9!  I fell early in the run (tripping over some uneven ground on the sidewalk), and scraped up my leg, knee, hands, and elbow.  Fortunately, it was dark!  And the city of Valencia didn't see a grown woman lose her balance!:)  I am SO looking forward to the race, and I came home today not feeling tired, but energized.  This is my body telling me, "I'm ready!"

The neatest thing about the morning was watching the sunrise.  The weather has turned dramatically, and last night before bed we all cuddled (D, T, and L) and listened to the wind whip through the trees.  This morning it was crisp and cool and the wind continued to blow as we ran.  It was absolutely picturesque...running the trails with the mountains in the background, the light just emerging from behind them, and the wind tickling our ears.  Thank you, Father for the beauty you have supplied for Your people to enjoy!
