My First Day of Training!

What a beautiful day for a run! I couldn't have asked for better. It was perfect! My training schedule said that I had to run 4 miles for my first day and that is exactly what I did. It went very well and I actually felt like I was flying. That was probably because I took a break from running last week and instead did a detox and lots of yoga to prepare myself for the rigorous training. It definitely helped! For those of you who don't know I now live in South Minneapolis only about 1 mile from Lake Harriet. Basically, I can walk out my door and I am instantly on the Minnehaha trails....it's great! There were lots of twigs on the path and trees down from the storms this weekend, but all and all it was a beautiful run. I rocked out to Spanish music while I ran and enjoyed the peaceful view of Lake Harriet. Before I knew it I was back at home and still rearing to go for more. Hopefully my run tomorrow goes just as well as it did today. Wish me luck! Tomorrow I have to run for a total of one hour, which for me is about 6 1/2 miles!

I also wanted to let you all know that I visited the TCF bank today and set everything up for my dad's benefit account. Please look to the right under "How to support" to see the updated information. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Before I go I just want to share a cool story with all of you. To open up the benefit account I had to deposit $25, which really was no big deal. Just as I was about to get up and leave, the representative handed me a $50 gas card for opening up the account. I was so surprised and so very thankful! God and my dad are so amazing! They are always looking out for me!

Thank you so much to all of you for your continued thoughts, prayers and support. Please don't forget to keep spreading the word about this blog to all that you know.

Peace and love,
Lacy
