Running High

Training for the CM Half Marathon is going great! Although I'm a week behind in my training. My long run yesterday should've been 8 miles but I ran 7 instead. But it was a good 7, I finished feeling like I could continue (I was short on time so I had to stop.)

This past week of training was so good that I actually reached a runners high during each run! It's usually about 30 minutes into the run. I'm coasting along as if running on solid clouds. The music is pushing me along like a couple of running buddies (S and N specifically). The sun is pulling me along rather than smothering me like it usually does. Ah...the runner's high!

The race is less than 5 weeks away. I guess I should register, hey?

My life is my own

Our DC in Bkk was great! We had 45 deaf attend and 2 baptized. Total attendance was just over 2000 with 37 baptized. It's so exciting to watch the progress!

With the conventions over, life is settling back into a normal routine. Except I'm hardly working...it's so amazing! The whole month of Oct I might have worked a total of 6 hours. It was great to have free time (that always managed to get filled) and not be rushed from one thing to the next.

Working less has given me more time to focus on running (among the other more important things). I'm planning on running the Chiang Mai Half-Marathon on Dec 26. Training has gone well so far. The weather has been very cooperative...it's getting cooler and I don't have to be out there at the crack of dawn to avoid getting over heated. So I'm enjoying the training more than I have in the past. I've never been a good runner at 6am. I'm much better after a cup of coffee at 7:30am.
