3 Turbo's, 2 Days

I've been a busy Turbo'er these past two days. I taught TK yesterday at church in the morning, and then again at MVAC. Jill, my mangager at MVAC, wants to add another TK class on Thursday nights at 5:30. I think that we will probably start that in October. That would be great...two classes of my very own. There was about 18 people in my class last night. The place was packed! I think that's the most that has been there yet. Usually there is about 12-15, but it was great yesterday. I went to 24 this morning and did some team teaching with Kelly. She's been a great mentor. I look forward to auditioning for the 24 manager, once we find out if we're going to be here for a while. Tomorrow I'm going to be back on the treadmill. I've gotta finish Titanic!

Empowered

I feel like I'm getting back into my running groove. I was on the treadmill again today, thanks to 'Titanic'. I really did want to stay on just so that I could see the entire ship sink! It's only about half way there now. Anyway, I'm slowly being reminded what I love about running. The sense of accomplishment and empowerment that I feel after a good run in unexplainable. Nothing else that I've ever done gives me that same feeling. I can't even comprehend what it's going to be like when I cross that finish line at my marathon. Awesome. I started crying once I crossed the finish line at my half, so I can only imagine that I'm going to be a big bawling baby! I'm okay with that though. I would have earned every single inch of the 26.2 miles.

5 mile victory!

Holy smokes, I had almost lost all faith in my running, but this morning, as Sebastian is down for his first nap, I FINALLY got on my treadmill after over a week of not running. I feel so proud for making myself do it, and for going 5 miles. Awesome! I do have to say that it wouldn't have been as easy without my TV. I usually watch my old 'Friends' DVD's, but lately that has been redundant. I've seen each episode about 300 times, and I find myself counting down episodes. I know that each is about 22 minutes long, which is about 2 miles. It's a little hard to concentrate on the show when all I can think about is that I only have to run through one more episode. So I got into our movie archives and put 'Titanic' into the VCR. Yes, VCR! I know that movie is kind of cliche, and it did have a time where it was really over-played, but I have to admit that I totally love it! My hour of running this morning got me to the fancy dinner that they invite Jack to as appreciation for saving Rose. Since I haven't seen it in a while, I was enjoying every minute instead of counting down. I almost could have stayed on longer just so that I could watch more. But I decided to stop at 1 hour since Sebastian would probably be waking up soon and I wanted to get in the shower before he did. Here's to 5 miles!
