Ok so I went and got a sports message last tuesday and it really helped me a ton, I felt like I was runner more like myself no pain in the hip and I could run faster. Yay!! Then after I pushed myself thursday I could start to feel it again so I schedualed another massage after my saturday long run and dang those massages are so painful you cant even imagine, the first one she said that my I. T. band which runs down the side of your leg from the hip to the knee was intertwined with my ham strings which run down the back of your leg and when she was pushing those back into place I wanted to cry, it hurt so bad, any it feels so much better I can totally tell running that it just feels so much better!!

Ok funny thing saturday we meet at 5 am at the end of the marathon and leave car there then drive out how far we are going to run, get up there and Sarah and Renee are totally freaked out because it was so dark (it really was dark) that we are going to get hit and what should we do and Sarah gota love her says "I think we should ditch running and go to I hop" so funny were like no and she is totally begging come on lets go!! LOL so funny, so they deside we should run with the light of our phones so funny I took mine thinking ok I'll do it got out there and bagged it stuck it in my pack and just tried to keep on the road, so we get all the way almost back to Sarah's van and I swear she looked like she was ready to start balling I felt so bad she forgot her keys up in the car at the top, so not a big deal, I call randy he can come get us but opps he is out at Sand hollow to ride, Renee tries to get Kyle but opps he's getting tires then Sarah's like oh I'll just have Charlie bring me the extra key, so not a big deal, what better to spend some fun time just visiting with these 2 great friends!!

Iam getting so excited for the marathon I was pretty nervous at first but after we ran that first 15 miles I thought we can do this, this week our long run will be 18 miles it will be another break through I think!! Yes we can do it!!

Blessings

I am so blessed, we have so so so much, I dont mean monitarily, but just in general. We have our health, we can walk play and run, which is a great plus, but so much more we have the love and blessings of a heavenly father who loves us and blesses us.

I am feeling very blessed for one because I went with Randy to Cedar the other night to go to a funral for a 2 year old little boy who was run over, he was a twin and they have 8 children, which is so so wonderful!! But more is when Randy got to his friend and he said I am so sorry, the dad (Randy's friend) said "Why, isnt this what we want for our children, to make it back to heavenly father, to not have to go through the trails of this life but to make it all the way and he has". That struck me # 1 I dont think I could be that strong #2 Im selfish I want my children here with me, I just dont think I could handle it if I lost any of mykids. So Im feeling very blessed, I know my heavenly father loves me, and I pray he knows how strong I am and what I can handle, and he won't give me more then that!! So my wonderful family I loveyou with all my heart you are every thing to me you are the best, thank you so much for each of you, you have blessed and enriched my life in ways you will never understand.. To my friends thank you for the blessings you are in my life know you hold a very special place in my heart and I thank heavenly father for eachand every one of you, I don't know that I could get through the everydayness with out your kind words and encouragement, I love each of you!! To my wonderful husband, you are my world I love you with all my heart know how important you are in my life, thank you for bouying me up when I couldnt on my own, thank you for supporting me in all Ive evr done or all that I do you are amazing, You make me so happy and I feel so safe in your arms!! To my Heavenly father thank you for all my blessings thank you for know me as a person as an individual knowing my needs and being there for me, I love you!!

I am so blessed thank you everyone in my life for however you have touched me, I love you!!

No one should get up that early, but I did and I got ready to go run, my sweet hubby went and got me water and put it in the freezer so it would be cold out there for me, so I left got over to the church to meet Sarah and I forgot my stinkin water bottles that go in my pack Ugh!! That was the pits so I turned around went home and got my water. So I get BACK over to the church we leave Sarah's car there and start driving forget to look at the milage so we guess drop water at mile 11 and 6 and drive our last 6 to where we will park and Im looking at the milage and Im like no not down the big Veyo hill that hill has just made me so nervous well guess what WE GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL AND THATS WHERE WE HAVE TO PARK!!!

My workings

This Is what I worked on, during all those long hours of driving first I got my 2 photo mats done for a swap then the card for card club then I got the journal box done for another swap. Well then I was out of things to dowith the trip from denver still to go, we didnt find a store in denver we didnt look but we checked out grand junction and the only store closed so as we were driving I thought well why not create a little 6 x 6 book to add photo's to when I get home, so I had limited things because all I had was what i brought to work on the swaps and cards, then at one of our stops I remembered my stuff I got in Kansas so I got that out, then todayin about an hour I added photo's and a little bling and wala a little mini book for Monica. Very excited!!
