If Only They All Started This Way....

Today has started off SO well! If only everyday was like this one! I started off the day with our second time trial of the season. For the first time trial (about 5 weeks ago), I ran a mile in 10:14. I was excited about that time because I hadn't run a mile for a time in about 15 years. Today, I ran my mile in 9:13!!! In five weeks, I have shaved off one whole minute!! WOO HOO! Then core work went very well.

After the run, I walked with a few ladies to a place called The Daily Grind for breakfast. We spent a leisurely two and a half hours at breakfast. We talked about everything from family to houses, jobs to nutrition, other countries to dogs. It was SO nice to just sit and visit with the women without having to worry about time or to rush off. What a rare treat. We don't just sit and enjoy each other anymore. I am thankful being able to do that today!

Then, after getting back to my aunt and uncle's house, I took the dogs for a walk. We went around the neighborhood and followed it up with some relaxing in the yard.

Now it is up to the shower and then a lesson from my bible study. This afternoon looks like a quick nap and a good book before dinner and church.

I am spoiled rotten!

Don't you love summers?

You could lay around and do nothing, sit in your comfy chair in your pjs all day if you choose or get up early and embrace nature at it's finest.

But you get to choose what to do!
I love your choices!

I would join you if we lived closer.
I love to run.
I love coffee.
And I to sit and drink coffee leisurely talking to friends.

What a great morning.
Hope there are many more of those for you.
