Elderisms

I could not help but get a good chuckle over one of the pictures Josh sent me this week. So hilarious. Why is it that missionaries have this innate desire to take strange pictures to send to their families? I have a theory....there

are so many rules as a missionary and very little time to do what the world would call, fun things. And so these elders and sisters come up with ideas to take humorous photos to entertain not only themselves but those who faithfully write to them. The part of this picture that makes me laugh most is that I happen to have one eerily similar...

Running and running....and...running..........

I am well underway with my training for the relay race. Today was a fairly easy workout. I was supposed to run straight for 20 min. I managed, but I really had to encourage myself near the end. There is light at the end of the tunnel because my brother Jacob assures me that once I get past the 20-25 min point of running, your body passes a barrier of being uncomfortable to one of running with ease. I look forward to cresting that because right now my body seems to be protesting a bit.

Ragnar Relay Series

Yesterday my brother Jacob emailed me with an invitation to join their 12 man team to run in a relay race this coming February. I was a bit hesitant at the idea, but it slowly sunk in that this could be a really good opportunity for me. And so I said I would do it. I have a long road ahead of me, but I am excited for the challenge.
