I struggle so much with being consistent with mine. I love how you always write from your heart and you are always so real. I am constantly letting go of what I thought I would be (sometimes kicking and screaming along the way) and grabbing hold of every moment of who I am. It's just that I don't recognize her sometimes - I lived so long with all these dreams I had. But you're so right - God has blessed me so much with people and things I never knew I wanted. They fill my heart with so much good stuff. And I have to trust I am living the life that's best for me, planned out by the Creator of the Universe. And I live another day, trying not to get in the way of what He's doing. I still have my dreams, but I leave the weight of them with the One who wants to carry them - the load is too much for me to bear. And I know that just over the horizon another dream is waiting, though I may not recognize it, and I hope that I'll be able to see it with His eyes. Looking forward to lots more of your writing for Mom's Moments in a couple of months! So glad you are back to blogging! I struggle so much with being consistent with mine.

What a treat to hear from Jerri. I am curious to what she eats the rest of the day after a morning run. I'm often more hungry on workout days and would like some advice on what a mealtime might include. Thanks Andi (and Jerri!). This is such great info! What a treat to hear from Jerri.

I did walk up 600 plus steps one day in London. Does that count? =) ok, gonna give it a try. you’d be so proud of me; i brought my running stuff to europe so i wouldn’t get behind, but i’m so scared of getting lost, I haven’t run once!

I look forward to running one in the fall to see how my time changes.

I havn’t found a holder that eliminates the water motion totally, even the camelbak fanny pack designed for runners. I prefer to drive my route ahead of time and plant those little half bottles of water in a bush on the side of the road. Sometimes I leave shot bloks, or Jerri will leave a banana too, depending on how long we are running. For runs under 5 miles, I don’t plant any water, I just hydrate before and after. The only exception is if I were to run in the heat of the day. (In a Texas summer “heat of the day” equals any time the sun is up at all!)

Something that's not too bulky and I wouldn't want the water bottles to hit my legs while running. Any suggestions? Can anyone recommend a water holder to wear while running long distances?
