First long run!

Now that I am back on the bandwagon of running I have been loving it!! I can't believe I stopped running, to be honest I am not sure why I even stopped?? OH WAIT!! I remember!! I was stuck in a blizzard haha! Oh good ole iceburg, I mean rexburg. Its hard to run in 10 degree weather, it just hurts my lungs.

I heart cholula!

 Anyways I felt really great about my run today. I was surprised that my pace was so good, since I haven't really been running, probably over 6 months. I ran 10 miles today, my pace was 9:04, not to bad eh? I am pretty excited! Here is what I ate after my run today and I am pretty sure it's one of my most favorite breakfast's.... maybe..... well actually I really love a good smoothie or oatmeal..... so really I just love a lot of things and this happens to be the things I currently love the most.






It's super easy.

• 1tbs olive oil
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup egg whites
• onions
• zucchini
• artichoke hearts
• garlic pepper

1. start up your pan add the olive oil and cut up onions, to your liking. For a couple of mins
2. Add zucchini again to your liking, I like to cut mine in half. Once everything is browned add the artichoke hearts and garlic pepper
3. Add the egg and egg whites and just stur till everything is cook
4. eat and enjoy a high protein mean with lots of veggies. It's good that you try and get veggies into our meals. I feel veggies are the hardest, yet the most important food that we can eat.

Little revelation to myself, I am beautiful!

UGH!!!! Man sometimes I just hate our society! Why must we all have to try and be these perfect people, with perfect bodies, perfect families and perfect lifes???

Isn't just being ourselves good enough anymore? Isn't trying to be best, to be our potential, enough??

I am so tired of people always telling me I am not good enough when in reality, I AM!! I am such a beautiful person. God made me the way I am for a reason... I am going through the refiners fire and I am progressing and to be honest I feel that it's just enough right now in my life.

May not be the skinniest or the most beautiful looking BUT I love the way God created me. When did society decided that you had to be a certain way. Why can't we embrace our difference; our different body shapes, our different personalities. I am tried of feeling bad for not being a stick! I am a very healthy women, I work out and I eat within moderation.

I am at this point that if my Creator wanted me to be skinny, goodness gracious he would have made me that way. I am not going to let that control my life anymore! If someone tells me other wise, I am quite frankly just not going to listen because I just don't care anymore.

Now I am not saying I am going to all of a sudden start eating unhealthy because that defeats the purpose. The purpose here is to just be as healthy as possible and then accepting what you look like. Accepting that God put you together just the way he wanted. We are beautiful individuals. I have this thought....

God is perfect right?? And God made you?? Do you think an imperfect being would be so naive to make something that wasn't perfect? NO! Not at all! This kind, merciful being full of love and compassion made YOU just the way he wanted! So why change that? Why try to redefine what God has perfectly made? 

Just somethings to ponder... Go out find a place, make a resolution to speak out and be not just okay but happy with who you are. And find who YOU truly want to be, seek deep into your thoughts and talk with God. He is a great listener :) And remember you are beautiful! 

I wasn't really sure how I could put my training schedule up... So I tried to put it in a google Doc. Hopefully it works. I really don't know much about computers. Infact sometimes I feel like an 80 year old trying to navigate through all this.

Ok so I am not promising anything with this but I am going to try AGAIN to stick with the blog. To be honest I really don't see myself keeping it up especially when I get back into school next month but I guess we shall see.

I have been missing running and I can get out there and run just fine but sometimes I just need a little motivation so I went and did my homework and found a marathon during the time that I thought I could be ready and well I found one in the B-E-A-UTIFUL Washington! I am in love with that place, I mean I love texas but there is just something about washington that just makes my little heart go pitter patter ;) My race will be the day after my beautiful twin sisters wedding, no pun intended bahahaha! I figured it would make for a pretty fantastic weekend.

If you find you are interested in running this wee little race, just follow my schedule. Its kind of more for advanced runners but if you are really really really interested I could make up a little plan for you.

Well tootles!! Have a blessed running day!
