Running @ the Park and the Starbucks Birdie

Today Ashley and I ran for the first time in a week. Midterms really took all my energy and time up this past week. Next week I am out of town Thuesday-Friday, so we're gonna have to have a weird schedule again. I really hate that but what can ya do??

Today we ran at the park behind Southern Hills on the running trail there--we were supposed to do 2.5 miles, but somehow only did 1.5. We'll have to look into figuring out what path to take so that it equals 2.5 miles.

We ran it in about 18 minutes, which is about a 12 minute mile, so that was good! We only took one walking break and it was after we ran the first mile, so that is an improvement as well!

My running shoes did not give me a blister today, so that is also an improvement!

After we got done with our jog, we went over to Starbucks and had pumpkin spice lattes and did a little Bible studying together, which was awesome! It was a really great way to start the day. Ashley was reading the end of Isaiah 40 (so good!) and I was reading 2 Peter 1 (also so good!).

While we were reading outside at Starbucks, these precious little birds kept hopping up onto our table and the vacant chairs around us! See above picture! Isn't he cute?

Now I am off to do laundry and clean and what not--woo fun! I really loathe doing the laundry but it's a necessary evil in life. I am going to watch Braveheart on my instant-watching on Netflix...never seen it, but of course everyone else in America has so I figure it's time!

Hope everyone has a grrrrreat Saturday! If you live in Abilene stop by brew.net tonight to support Jenica's mission team fundraiser!
