Picture Saturday

What up what up,

Today is picture saturday! I'll be putting up some pictures from our journey sporadically throughout the blog so that you can see what we see as we train. The photos will include shots of our runs or things that we think pertain to the blog. Some will be of things that we see as well as experience, like the sunset below. And some pictures will be random and hopefully hilarious. Well, they'll be hilarious to us anyways. I enjoy photography, it happens to be one of my favorite hobbies. The pictures below are taken with our iPhones, so judgment is not required you photography snobs, you. I hope you all like the pictures because each one of them is important and special to us.

Sunset over our neighborhood during one of our RWRs

I love a good sunset. Sunsets are so ethereal, so majestic. I can see God's handiwork so clearly in a glorious sunset. They serve as a point of inspiration for me to always seek out the best in this world, focusing my time on what is important and not what is trivial. 

Training has been going well for us lately. We upped the times of our RWRs this week while keeping the 5 second run, 55 second walk ratio. Personally, I've been feeling stronger lately and I think everyone else is as well. 

Today though. 

Today was our distance run of 1.25 miles and it was tough. Mom joined us for our run and let me tell you, mom can book it! She kept saying she wasn't in good enough shape to walk with us but she kept the fastest pace out of all of us. I am really happy she joined us, now all I need to convince is Hannah....

Here's a shot of the Maple Quinoa with Red Grapes mentioned in an earlier blog post.  It was delicious! 

Next week we bump up our ratio to 10 seconds of running and 50 seconds of walking. It's going to be a challenge, but I think we'll be up for it. We also have some room to slow down the pace if we need to as our race is still more than a year away. I also got some new runnings shoes (New Balance 1290's) and they are saweet. Can't wait to break them in and start using them on our runs. New shoes make everything seem better, ya know? 

Mickey shaped pizza we made on pizza night. This was totally random: we had a hard time shaping the first few balls of dough and this was one of the results of our handiwork. How could we not record this as we are training for a Disney marathon! 

All in all, it's been a good week. We are sticking to our schedule and learning to live better every day. Sometimes the road is hard, but in the end, it will all be worth it.

'Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.' Hebrews 12: 1-2.
