Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone!!

Only 21 days to go until the Houston marathon and a few days until 2012!  This weekend I got in some mileage in SA and Lytle, in the midst of cold weather and rain.  My last long run is this week, a 20 miler.

I have added some new links for future races post marathon, including Austin half marathon (2/19/12) and Rock 'n' Roll Dallas half marathon (3/25/12).  Let me know if you want to join in!  I have also set up a link for the Houston Livestock and Rodeo , which I will be a "rookie" in the Special Children's Committee.  Looks like 2012 is starting off on a great foot (no pun intended).

I wish everyone a blessed and love filled Christmas.  I am so thankful for all of the blessings and love present in my life.  It is simply amazing!



Love,
Lauren

31 then done!

31 days to go!

About 1 more month to go until it is time for my marathon!  I have been doing better with progressive runs, tempo runs, and yoga.  I have a few long runs to go, taking it a bit easier to avoid further injuries.

I am asking for prayers for Laura Castillo and her family; tomorrow a big step in fighting breast cancer will occur.  My "problems" in my life have been definitely into prospective tonight.  I am so grateful and at peace with my life as is, thankful that certain prayers were not answered as I truly believed they should have been.  God knows my heart and has something so real and amazing for me.   It brings the biggest grin to my face!

I am thankful for the honest ,genuine, and loving people in my life!  I appreciate everyone's continued support and can't wait to see everyone on race day.

Love,
Lauren
