Today I ran 5 miles at an 11 minute pace. That's not very fast, but it was my fastest ever! I was very excited! My goal for the month is to be able to run 8 miles in 80 minutes. I will continue my speed drills and sprints and see if I can improve my pace. We are running a 1/2 marathon in November. I want to finish in under 2 hours so I need to train at 7 miles per hour. Yikes! That seems fast! For me anyway! But hey, why not!! Maybe I was born to run fast and I just haven't tapped into that yet! Heavenly Father has blessed me so much with a healthy body!!! I'm so glad my family runs too!
We've started our homeschool year! I love it!! It is so overwhelming!!! But I'm excited for a challenge!!! Yesterday I felt like there was no way I could teach all these kids, with all this chaos. It seemed like everybody was behind. But we can do it!! I have no time to feel discouraged or think about failure. I only have time to work like crazy and succeed. There is no other option! We will triumph!!! The kids will get a first class education this year and be found far ahead of their grade level in every way be the end of the school year in May 2013! I'm so excited!!!! This will take a huge effort and amazing patience, organization, and encouragement. We can do it!!! Heavenly Father didn't send us here to fail or be mediocre. We are His children!! With His help we can do anything!! We just have to rely on Him and let the divinity within us blossom.
