My piano teacher told me I didn't have rhythm. Oh well. I don't like to count.
But, I'm getting into a running rhythm. As I run and get about 4-5 minutes into it, I suddenly am okay with running. I could go farther than my daily time limit (but I don't).
Yesterday, I walked 5 min, ran 10 min, walked 5 min. I actually ran a full mile in that ten minutes, so that felt nice. I could have kept running farther too. I'm learning to watch my pace too. I am usually running anywhere from 8:30 min/mi. to 10:30 min/mi. Not too shabby for a beginner, I'd say.
Tomorrow is 5, 11, 5. Dang. Next week looks SCARY. I thought this week did. Not compared to next week!
In other news, Dave and I were able to pay off our van and a small student loan!!! Only 4 more student loans to go!!! We are excited and feeling free!!! It feels amazing to say--I am no longer under your thumb!!!
We are discussing our financial goals and home improvement goals (the kind that actually keeps the house from inefficiency and falling apart--not remodeling). This year has become the year of freedom and discipline for us, and we are LOVING it.
Resurrection weekend has had me contemplative, thinking about the sacrifices of Jesus for us. May I never lose sight of it!
Off to book club in about 30 minutes to lead a discussion on The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne. If you haven't read it, you should. It is BRILLIANT. Much love to you all!
He is risen! He is risen, indeed!
You have not mentioned Kindle--not sure what that is. And congrats on the running and the paying off of debt! Enjoy that super-good feeling.
ReplyDeleteCam and I watched the movie last weekend... I've heard the book is GREAT!! The movie was amazing! Next week my running plan looks SCARY, too.I think it's a total of 24 minutes and 16 are running;/ I don't know if I'll make it!
