It's been over a month now since sylvan & I still haven't come to terms with my disappointing race...
When there's only one race a season it's a lot of eggs to put in one basket, but it's a lot of work dragging kids & inconvenience for those watch my kidlettes.
I put a lot of effort into training, & it has been disheartening. I'm only running now- working on another distance goal by the end of the year, but I've been really struggling holding pace & motivation. Teaching spin still, & my favorite, endurance crossfit workouts 3-4 times a week. Last week after workout I was wondering how many pulls I can do in a row & managed to crank out 7... Post workout mind you. (I'm pretty proud, if it wasn't obvious!).
On top of all this is life & making sure the number one thing stays number one (read:God), & trying my best to love my hubby & kids. This summer I began a bible study with some girlfriends & we have been reading & doing the work book for Driven by Eternity, by John Bevere. It has open my eyes to so many thing that are clearly in the bible, but I didn't know. It's not easy to rewire my thinking for the here & now to try and focus on what's waiting for us. I highly recommend this book & study even though some parts haven't been easy to look inwards at my self & my motives, etc.
My devotional today talked about Gods will for my life, not my own & if I'm living the life He wants vs. what I want... yikes! Have I've been asking Him? No. Am I gonna start? Of course!
So are you living the life God wants & using the gifts & talents He has given you?

Making lemonade
My dear sweet children are early risers. I used to think Matt was bad waking at 6 am. He has nothing on my lovely daughter who loves to try & wake me up anywhere between 4:30 & 5:30 in the morning... Tries... Usually my feet won't hit the floor until 5:45, on a good day 6. Only once in recent history we all slept in until 7 am- I think it was after coming home from an exhausting weekend at the lake!
So recently I have been dragging my early birds to my sisters gym at 6 in the morning & banging out a crossfit workout. Thus my lemonade- & I don't have to drag them, they are very willing. I must confess that I do miss those early morning sweatfests- it's so nice to get them out of the way!
