Daily Face: January 26th

It was finally warm enough to run this morning, 39 degrees. It felt great to be back out a with the moon shining in the sky.
The morning run put the day on the fast track.
It felt so good to be home at the end of the day.
My husband and I ate dinner, while watched Oblivion with Tom Cruise. (It was actually a very good movie). Empty nester life!
Then it was study time for me and he went to Bible College.
It's suppose to rain in the morning so no running.

I'm back in school for Spring Qtr. I'm only taking one course this time but it's Mon. - Thurs. form 8:30 - 11:00 a.m. Which means I get to work late and I have to stay late to cover time I'm not there. Thankful that my Principal is letting me do this. I hope I'm up for the challenge.
 If I want to get some good running miles in I'll have to get out a little earlier. Currently it's been below freezing here when I normally go running and my husband does not like to get out when its that cold.

My morning run of 6 miles this morning was exhilarating. I read a book of poetry and quotes called To See a World in a Grain of Sand. I like this quote from Josh Billings "Life consists not in holding good cards but playing those you do hold well."
 My life is not perfect, but I am thankful to God, and try to be happy each day no matter what difficulty I am facing. When I smile instead of frown I feel so much better. It does not take away my problems but gives me hope of a better tomorrow.

Had a great 5 mile run this morning. It was 37 degrees. There is something to be said about being up before dawn and running. It's so peaceful. the air was brisk. It felt so good.
When my husband and I pulled up to the trail this morning, I was happy to see that there were other "crazies" out to run. I call us crazies because that is what it takes to get up at 5 am to get a run in before your work day.

 I had a very busy day. Woke up at 5 a.m.  and ran with my husband. I thought I was running fast, but I wasn't. Oh well at least I finished. I went to Estate Sale @ 9 a.m. and purchased vintage leather gloves. I love to wear gloves, especially on Sundays. One pair was blue and the other brown, now I just have to wait until next winter to wear them (if it's the Lords will).  I went to work and after work went and helped client get organized.

I have gardening on the brain. I love this book called Kitchen Gardening for Beginners. My  display in my office also shows what I am thinking.

I am a Runner!

 I am a runner. I'm no professional but, I love to wake up at 5 a.m. put on my running gear and go. My neighborhood is great for short runs and we live close to a trail for long runs. I am happy with my short run pace, if only I could keep it when I run longer.

I've met a lot of older women in their 70's who are my role models. They still get out there and do it. That's the way I want to be.

Although I am not consistent with my art, I can say I am at running and reading. I don't feel like I'm in my fifties.
