DISNEYLAND HALF MARATHON WEEKEND

September 5th 2010.

The best trip our family has ever had together. It is crazy to say that after running the second day of if and having sore legs... a total of 5 days in the park was still not long enough. We are already missing it and wishing we could go back right now. Preslee, only being two, still asks daily to go on pirates. I love it!

This half marathon was completely solo for me. I have to say that I am even more proud of myself for having enough self discipline to go out of my element and just do it! It was one of the best experiences of my life as far as goal setting and accomplishments.

I am grateful for a husband who supports my running 100%. My girls are already talking about the day they can run with me. I would absolutely love my girls being runners with their mom!

I am preparing a lesson for my relief society this sunday and I just need to share some thoughts....
I am so grateful for my callings in my ward. I had a crazy, hectic day and I have been stressing to get this lesson wrapped up and ready to go. I realized as I was finishing up that my whole mood changed. I actually felt my testimony for the gospel grow as I read and studied about our Savior.
Life can be crazy and I can get so caught up in the routine of things that I forget how simple it really is to change the way I am feeling. If I am having a bad day or the kids are having their ridiculous moments I can turn to my Heavenly Father.... Everything gets better instantly. I see my kids as my greatest blessings and my husband as my best friend again.
