The Running Diva

I am so proud and excited to say that I am up to jogging (not running) 3miles! PRAISE THE LORD! Getting up early and hitting the streets has paid off. Each race that I complete I knock a few minutes off of my time! I've been jogging for 5 weeks now and I can see myself getting toned especially my legs, but they were already hot anyway. I'm wondering when I should attempt my first 10k I'll just take it slow... I don't want to put too much pressure on myself. I know that if I stay on the course that I’m on I'll reach my goals.
I was reading my journals from past years and I am disappointed to say that I have been struggling with the same issues for the past 5 years! I want to break free from this bondage and move on to bigger and better things that God has for me! I have let go and let God show me what he has for me. This so hard for me because I am a control freak, but God is truly the one in control so I just worry & get my panties in a bunch for nothing. I control nothing!
So my house is still coming along quite slowly.... I feel overwhelmed a lot of the time... I think did I take on too much (as I often do) I Love my house & I thank God for it. I just get frustrated. I love the fact that my house is so me... the house it has awesome structure but there is work t0 be done on the outside... it still looks great but there is so much that I want to do with it. The inside of the house has gotten a total overhaul I'm still working on it but everything is mainly where I want it to go, organized, but still a little messy, colorful, expressive, and unique. All of this is the essence of me. I look forward to summer vaca because It will be a time for me to work on my house & train for my races! Yay!
Pray for my training I’ve got another race coming up Saturday! I hope to do BIG things!
