Just another Friday

Guess who called today. That's right, my Jennica!!! I was so excited to hear her voice. She sounds like she's doing alright, even with the struggles that come from a gigantic life change. It was nice to be able to talk to her, and to give advice from across the ocean. We really must find a cheaper phone card for her, though, it is sad to nearly hear the dollars ticking away. It was a great start to a long day.
So here's my big news. I've decided to run a half marathon on Halloween. Yes, you heard right, I'm going to run. And yes, 13 miles is an insane goal at this point. But I've got 6 weeks, and lots of ambition, so we'll see how it goes. I'm starting out at being able to do 1 mile and nearly dying, so I've got a lot a lot a lot of work to do (a lot a lot a lot a lot). But I know in no time at all I'll be up to like 10 miles a day and will be looking fabulous. Oh, and there's a rule: no making fun of me for this. Whether I succeed or not is not the point, so much as the effort I'm putting into it. Plus, it makes me feel more like I fit in in this house, so many of them run.
Other than that, I'm just kinda normal. Very sore, very tired, and already a little frustrated by biochem. But that's okay, because God is good, the sun shines even if it's hidden by clouds, and things will get better if I'm patient.
Alright, I'm out. Love God, hate sin, have fun.
