Valentines Day and a 5K

The older I get the more I agree with Jason that Valentines Day is really a Hallmark holiday although he always seems to go above and beyond for me and I usually just end up feeling bad for not getting him much! Jason got me a really nice pewter heart shaped plate and my Valentine bouquet! I was going through a career change leaving Park Dental (the office I worked at since 2003) for a much better offer at Ocala Dental Care. It took a lot of praying and meditation on scripture and along the way a good Valentines verse kept popping up-This is my commandment that you love one another just as I have loved you. I think this commandment should make every believer feel a little more loving on Valentines Day and I tried to put it into practice!
February 19th I ran the best I have done since starting this running thing. My goal was "25 before 35" and I made it in 24:25! I'm starting to enjoy the thrill of meeting goals and getting faster. I've never been an athlete, so I think I am enjoying feeling athletic! Running has made me happier in general and I think I can finally say that I have achieved "runner's high!" Its a great time to think and when the kids come along it really gives me a good workout! The toning has helped the old self confidence and I think I may be ready to keep up with Jason and the yard work over the summer! I think he'll appreciate me being stronger when it comes to raking the grass again!
