Update On Running..........

I just wanted to give you all a quick update..... I just finished my first week of running. I have ran 5 days since last Tuesday. I am only running 3/4 of a mile a day so that brings my total to 3.75 miles. I have no idea if this is good or not , but to me it is great! I am proud that I am sticking with it and I am really enjoying it. My breathing is getting a lot better , the pain in my side while running is lessening, and today I only had to walk 2 short times for a quick breath. I know I am getting faster too because I started out by listening to almost 3 songs on my ipod my first run and today my 2nd song was just ending as I ran into the yard! This week I will begin to run and walk 1.5 miles. But I am going to half it up, and then keep building on it.

So anyway... I hope that I am encouraging someone! Just take it from a non- runner.... I never ran in my 32 yrs of life!I never liked it before, because of all the ailments. But I am sticking with it and enjoying it! Any of you that live near me who wants to come and join me... Please Do!!!! I am not naming any names....TRACEY !!!! LOL!!! But seriously if you want to come and join me come on. I am just beginning so you don't have much to catch up with. I promise I am very slow!!!

The SC Denneys said...: What time do you leave your house? I am going to try to make it on Thursday. I am not sure I can but if not Thursday. Will start next week a few days. With the end of school my schedule in the evening is very busy. Next week, wed and Thursday, I have something at school. The following week I will have Tuesday and Friday with something. So see what I mean about waiting until after school to start.; May 13, 2009 at 5:37 PM

Verses that really spoke to me and helped me get through our adoptions.

(John 14:18) " I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you."

(Isaiah 43:5-6) "Do not be afraid, for I am with you,
I will bring your children from the west. Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth."

(Proverbs 25:25) "As cold water is to a thirsty soul : so is good
news from a far country."

(Matthew 6:25-34) The do not worry chapter.
This is the chapter that told me we would adopt again and the
baby girl woud be named Lily (Lilee). "The lilies of the field".
This is a great reminder of why we should not worry, God will take care of his people!

(Psalms 82: 3-4) "Defend the cause of the weak and the fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Resue the weak and neady; deliver them from the hand of the wicked."

(Psalms 68: 5) "A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling."

(Deuteronomy 10:18) " He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow and loves the alien, giving them food and clothing."

(Philippians 4:13) "I can do all things through him who gives me strength."

(Philippians 4:6-7) " Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present
your request to God. And the peace of God,which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

(Romans 8:28) " And we know that all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

(James 1:27) "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after the orphans and widows in their destress, and to keep oneself from being polluted from by the world."
