Week One Down.

The Running Bit
I ran a mere fifteen miles last week for my first week of training.  Fifteen miles.  I'm sorry - WHAT?!

Even after being a runner for a solid year now (and one that stopped taking walking breaks - for the most part - a good six months ago), I still can't get over the fact that I absolutely love it!

I am in continual shock and awe that God would bless me with such a love of running.

But even more - I am so completely ecstatic to earn that finisher's medal.  Just so I can throw it down and give Him the glory for it.  I still come back from each and every run saying to the Lord,  "Yeah, that was all you.  Ain't no way I coulda done that."

The Work Bit
I am fast falling in love with my new job.  I've learned a lot even the first week, and I'm stoked to start diving into more.  I don't think we've quite reached "in our groove" status yet, as we're still in the training process.  But it's only a matter of time.  Oh yes.

I've got forty-one hours between both places of employment this week.  Twenty-six of those hours will be worked on Tuesday and Thursday this week.  But I'm excited.  The days I'm not working, I will finally get to experience the concept of "working from your rest", not "resting from your work".
