I had a hard time getting up this morning and I was yawning the entire way as I drove to my running route. However, as soon as I started and my blood starting moving I felt great. I ran along the Mississippi River and it was such a beautiful day! It was steamy out, but the path was shady for the most part and there was a little of a breeze. I listened to praise music the whole time and prayed that God would give me strength and energy to finish the 14 miles. If you know the cities you'll understand how long of a run I did. I started out on Frankline Ave and ran several miles into the Fort Snelling National Park. It was quite a hefty run, but I could've definitely gone further. There was a strange thing that happened towards the end of the run when I ran across the Franklin bridge. There were all these cop cars blocking the street and lots of people stopped to gawk. Everybody was looking over the bridge and I couldn't really pick out what they were looking at...I sure didn't see anything. However, I saw that the cop was standing by a pair of sandals and I came to the conclusion that somebody must've jumped off the bridge. I did ask a spectator, but she didn't seem to know much. What a crazy thing to do, but please pray for this person that he or she makes it out ok.
Also, once again I'm going to ask for your prayers for me as I start my first official week as a kindergarten Spanish Immersion teacher for Minnetonka. There is so much to learn and so much to do. Eventhough I'm very excited to start, it is all very overwhelming and suffocating at times. Please pray that I stay calm and centered through it all.
One last thing. Please let me know if you are interested in purchasing a t-shirt and what you would like it to say (loved one or father, walk or run). I need to get a rough guestimate for an order in asap. Thanks so much!
Much love,
Lacy
