Awake

Hello friends!  I realize I've been MIA lately.  I worked overtime two weeks in a row and the past three nights.  It is so exhausting!  The good news is that I'm now off for a nice stretch.  It's so nice to have a little vacation and I have some fun things planned for this next week that I'll share later :)

Yesterday I went for a 4 mile run after getting off work.  I ran 4.1 miles with a 9:05 min/mile pace.  I was pretty tired but glad I got the change to go!  Then I took a 5 hour nap and got up and spent some time with my husband.  I thought I was ready for bed at 10:00 pm last night and fell right to sleep.  Sadly I woke up a few minutes ago after only sleeping about 3.5 hours.  At least I feel rested!  So, here I am wide awake watching reruns of Scrubs.  It's so realistic ;)

When the sun comes up, I'm going for a run.  I'll probably run 5 or 6.  I really do love running in the mornings and am looking forward to watching the sunrise!  There is something amazing about the early morning and the newness of the day.  I love how God paints us a pretty picture every day!


Enjoy your day,
Leah B.

    I would love to run that early in the am, but I'm too lazy to get my butt out of my nice & warm bed.

    A sunset run with a campfire, baked beans and BBQ ribs waiting is a close second

    I'm glad you're going to get a little rest finally - sounds like you really deserve it.

    That is the most beautiful sunrise I've ever seen!
