Hey Everyone, Just wanted to shoot out a small little update from our last entry. Not much has changed.We are still crazy focused still on our training and getting better. If fact the longer we are running the harder it is to keep up with it. It takes a mental want to wake up in the morning and do what we have to reach our goal. Its actually been quite amazing we started serious training in November of 2012 and as of Memorial day a couple weeks ago, we just finished our 3rd 1/2 marathon. We started not being able to run a mile with out stopping and we've grown mentally and physically stronger since then. This last one was for the USMC Dark Horse batallion out of Camp Pendleton.
It was very inspiring to see the families of fallen and current marines during this event. How can you not get pumped up when a TANK leads everyone down the street for a tough run. Memorial day was not part of the beach cities challenge that I wrote about earlier. We did this one for our troops pas and present (and a pretty cool medal.) After completing the Orange county half marathon with personal records for both of us, we have one more to go in october. I know some of you have told me you want to train for this so we'll be starting to train next week. For those of you interested in starting to train for something like this, let me know.
We meet in Glendora on Saturday mornings for our long training runs. It is a challenging but perfect training course.You don't need to do the full 1/2 marathon, 5ks and 10ks are available to run and are a great accomplishment for your specific level of running. Lila wants to do a full marathon next year but thats a whole other level of training. I don't know if were ready for that just yet.
Other things going on is we are getting more involved with our church. We are in the works of starting a couples small group through church, were couples can get together and fellowship about God and what kind of problems or speed bumps that arise during marriage. It will also be a good opportunity to get together with other couples and just hang out and be silly. Its always good to know you are not the only one going through issues. And you not the only crazy couple out there.
Other than that we are just being us. Spending time together, laughing as much as we can and working towards our own goals for 2013.
P.S. Special Congrats to all the graduates in the family. I know we couldn't make all the parties but we are super proud of all of you. You guys are entering a new level of your life and it is a huge accomplishement. Keep your head on straight and keep out of trouble. Just cause you're out of school doesn't mean you're ready for life just yet. :oP Praying for you all. See ya next time.
