So we had the boys all week. It was crazy getting back into a school schedule again, been a few years, but also nice. I managed to get more "stuff" done and some workouts in even with a crazier schedule.
I LOVED IT!
Now we are back to our normally scheduled schedules and it feels rather weird, and quite.
9 miles on the books for Sunday morning, and Haunted House opens on Friday!!! So excited! Love this time of year.
I will post a flier later, but if you want to check us out go here: http://sebastianhauntedhouse.org/
Miss Jocelyn - her stomach is really bothering her again please keep her in your prayers. Her team of doctors is also meeting so if you can keep them in your prayers for them to come up with a plan of how to go forward to help Jocelyn.

Another Step on the road to success
If you have been following my posts for while you know my desire to lift weights more consistently. Well I have started something to help me with that and to make sure that I am able to do it correctly with little chance for injury.
Through the wellness program at work I have found a coach. He use to be a power lifter and written an ebook and really about helping others be successful with their physical and wellness efforts. We have had our first session, and tomorrow will have a second reviewing a video I took of what and how I currently lift. We are going to start with the foundation and proper basics (always the best place to start).
I have to admit video tapping myself lifting was weird! I've never been much on being video tapped though, so that is nothing new.
I am very excited for this new step on the road to being successful. This is always renewing my energy to refocus on my eating habits, which have slipped up a little over the last month. Thankfully I am not as frustrated as I have been in the past with not getting results, and I haven't lost all my good habits I've been working on. Each time I go through the frustration/restart cycle I seem not to slip back as far. That in itself is a success.
Moving on and moving up!
Jocelyn update - her stomach is causing her a lot of pain again, please keep her in your prayers. If you are interested in supporting Jocelyn and her fight please consider buying one of her hoodies. The sale is open until october 10th.

It is Time, party Time!
Starting tomorrow I am on vacation .... well its my semi annual woman's weekend away for GFWC Florida. It is a great time for all of us to get together from around the state and share what we've been up to. I help run the AV for the weekend. I love it! It keeps me busy and hopping all weekend, but I meet so many more wonderful ladies because of this.
Tonight I am trying to figure out how I am going to get my long run in ... haven't decided if I am staying up and running late tonight or getting up early and running in the morning. Which ever I choose I have decided I am getting my run in. I know missing on long run won't upset my training by any means, but it just will make it that much harder to stick to the training plan when I return. Returning from vacations can already make the difficult enough.
Egg Scramble race organization is fully up and running! We have the domain name eggscramble5k.com for the next 3 years. Check out the webpage. Registration will open in October and we will have team prices and awards again this year.
Jocelyn Update - she is having a lot of trouble with her tubes, and her stomach is causing her lots of pain. Please keep praying for her.

In full swing
Training is in full swing! Got in 7.3 miles this weekend. Feels amazing. Ok yes my body is sore, but to be out there and pounding out those miles again, I just can't believe it sometimes. I remember as a young person dreaming of just going out and running forever, running a 1/2 marathon - and now I am and have.
As another year comes to a close I choose to focus on all I have accomplished. And I look forward to what this year will hold for me. There are prayers between God and myself and I leave them up to his timing. I fully trust that he has a plan and that when it is right my prayers will fall into place in his plan. Until then I will do my part and train on.
Please keep Jocelyn in your prayers, she has to go back to the hospital on Thursday and her j-tube and g-tube are causing all sorts of problems.
Happy Monday, may it be filled with many blessings.

Training and busy time of year
Exciting time of the year in my house hold.
First off finished the month of 6.2 miles and now move into the month of 9.3 mile training runs. We have found a new running friend from our Mother's Run This Town. She is at our same pace and will be running the Tower of Terror 10 miler soon - so perfect time to join us training!
This weekend, Labor day weekend = Haunted House building time!!! Yes its the time of year again! Love this time. It means the weather is going to start getting cooler - well "cool" meaning not almost in the 100's every day! :) It means watching a flat piece of land grow in to rooms and doors - all with the purpose of frightening people that pay for the privilege!
This is the GFWC Sebastian River Junior's biggest fundraiser of the year. We are known in the community for this and by this all the other things we do - light up night, national night out, touch a truck, and both the fourth of July and Christmas Parades. I love belonging to this amazing group.
It is also when we bring in alot of our Juniorettes. The 12 - 18 year olds. They help from the building and the acting and then they are hooked. They realize volunteer groups can be fun and the impacts that they have. Love that I get to help show them that.
Jocelyn update - chemo went well and she is at home having play dates and swimming. She has to go back in next Wednesday and stay over night to have the surgery that takes the bacteria out of her stomach. Her body does not process food so this bacteria builds up and she has to periodically have it removed. While they are in there they will also take a biopsy of her liver - her numbers are elevated and they need to see what is going on.
If you feel so lead, there is 4 hours left (its 8:49 est time right now) to order a shirt to help support Jocelyn. She needs to sell 18 more shirts. This is the link: https://www.booster.com/hopeforjocelyn?utm_source=FTSBemail

Doing Well
Still not checking the scale. Had a week and a 1/2 of bad eating, but I'm back on track. I'm in full 1/2 marathon training mode. Loving it! Last night got together for the first time with a new running partner that I met through the Moms Run This Town (MRTT) group I joined. We both are the same pace, which made us feel better because the rest of the moms are at 9 -10 min/mile paces!
We just did a short 1.3 mile walk last night, but we talked the whole time! Its great to have another person to help push to get out there and work out.
Jocelyn news - please keep her, her family and her doctors in your prayers - she goes in today for chemo. Her bones do not get any calcium and are very brittle. The Chemo is suppose to help get calcium to her bones. She goes in at noon today and will be there all week.
If you feel comfortable, please change your profile picture to the first picture below on facebook, to show you are praying for my superhero this week.
Happy Tuesday, may it be filled with many blessings.

away too long
Sorry for the absence. No excuse just didn't log the time. Right now I am trying an experiment of not looking at the scale. I was starting to become obsessed checking a couple times a day, which is not healthy. So for now, did not decided how long, I am just working on continuing to eat healthy (fruits and veggies and pea protein), and getting back into 1/2 marathon training.
Yes you read that right 1/2 marathon training. I am running the Space Coast 1/2 marathon again this year on November 30th with my running partner. I am very excited to be running this race again, though I'm finding it a little difficult to find the motivation to train as much as I did last year. However I am working on that.
It does help that I have my I run 4 buddy Jocelyn. I don't make excuses. There are times I still do not get out, but then it is just I didn't, not I didn't because. She has to get a boot on her foot as she tore some ligaments :(. She starts Chemo on August 19th. I sent her a special box with a special something to wear to match something I have (I will share once she receives the package).
The picture below is for Jocelyn and to keep the prayer chain going strong. Please take a moment to send a prayer up for my superhero. This young lady smiles every day and lives life to the fullest - even when her stomach bothers her, even when she can't put pressure on her foot and knows she has chemo coming up. She is an amazing example on how to live each day.
I have something special that I will be doing for the wellness initiative at work coming up in the next month or so, when I can share I will post. I'm very excited about it. Happy Wednesday, may it be filled with many blessings.
