Not that there was really any question, but every day I get new clarification that I, in fact, do NOT have a runner's body. So many strange things are happening, and I'm crediting them to the complete shock and terror that my body must be going through. I have bumps on my knees that were never there before, I have strange shredding (peeling) on the bottoms of my feet that has never happened before, and the sweating? oh, the sweating; like, probably gallons... and these are just the things that are okay to share on a public forum! UGH! I honestly don't know how "runners" keep up with it all.
But there is good news... Heartline sent a report, and we've raised more money. I would like to thank Terri & Jeff Stewart, Marie Griffin, and (again) Jim & Stephanie Baas for pushing our total up to $855. Thank you, thank you, thank you. :)
With regard to running, this is a "step-down" week for me (that's runner lingo that I got from my actual runner friends). It just means I'm doing less miles; hopefully it'll give my body a chance to rest a little bit from building up in mileage each week, and I won't have any new mysterious bumps or skin conditions to contend with. Although, in all honesty, I really have nothing to complain about -- compared to the baby born in the dirt, on the street in front of Heartline Ministries a while back. I'll just keep running...

Hang in there, sister! You are doing SO WELL and I'm more proud of you than you even know! I LOVE step back weeks when I'm training...get some rest and let your body recover a bit. I do often ask myself why I keep running as well...you've heard my stories about the things it does to my body (some good and some not-so-good). I know you can relate now that you are A RUNNER!! Only 1 1/2 months until the big day! I'm so glad to be able to help you (& Heartline Minstries) in prayer and financially... and to be YOUR cheerleader for a change! I love you!
Stephanie
