Good Morning Loves!
I’ve enjoyed a great weekend so far and it will be continuing on until Monday. I’m pretty sure y’all don’t think I’m working at all right now because I keep talking about these days off I have and honestly, sometimes I feel the same way! I just had so many vacay days to use up before August that they all kind of found themselves around this time. It’s been nice and relaxing.
I’m sending a request for prayers right now. I’m still on the job hunt, but I have one scenario right now that I’m considering. I’m praying about it a lot because it’d be a huge leap of faith, but it’s something I think I would love and be good at, but there are definite things to consider as I make my decision. I don’t feel like I’ve prayed this much over where God is leading me in a while, but I know that my desire is to follow in his steps and be right where he wants to plant me and grow me. I am leaning more towards a certain way, but I want to make sure it’s what he wants. Prayers would be greatly appreciated as I continue interviewing and seeking out what’s best for me at this time!
Over the past few days since I’ve been away, I’ve also come up with my fitness plan for the next year and I’m excited about it! As most of you know, I was having some anxiety over this triathlon coming up in August and the swimming seriously freaks me out. I wish it wasn’t this way, but it is. I decided to not do that triathlon, but I found out about another one that’s in September and it’s still a measly little beginner one.
125y POOL SWIM! (Doing a happy dance right now!), 10m bike, 2m run. And I have until September. I think this race will be good for me because it’ll get me doing a triathlon without having horrid flashbacks to how my swim went last time in open water. It’ll get me confidant again in triathlons and I’m hoping get me geared up to train for a lengthier one next summer.
My plan: Begin training in August for Disney Wine&Dine Half-Marathon. During this training, incorporate my super sprint triathlon training on x-train days. After the Half, continue with training to complete a Full Marathon (It’s on my fitness bucket list, why not now!?). Complete that in January or February. After the Full, begin hard-core triathlon training to complete a legit tri next summer.
I’m getting geared up and ready for Jamey’s wedding next weekend! I’m so blessed to be a part of her special day. She actually posted this sweet message on facebook yesterday, it made me blush! 🙂
Sending prayers your way about the job. Being on the job hunt and trying to determine what’s best for yourself is never an easy task. I’ll be thinking about you!
Good luck with your tri in September. Your training plan amazes me. It’s definitely motivating to a beginner like me so keep it up!
Praying for you lovely lady!
I am definitely praying for you, my sweet friend! I can seriously tell that you would be a fantastic bridesmaid – you are so well organized 🙂
I am sending you lots of good wishes and prayers on the job front! I hope everything works out!
And I simply love that you’re tackling all of these fitness goals! I can’t wait to follow along!
Prayers for you! You’re definitely doing the right thing by asking for his guidance. I prayed for a similar situation recently and he made it very clear what I should NOT do (even though that wasn’t the answer I was looking for). Crazy how he can answer our prayers like that!
I said a prayer for you. I hope you will be able to make a decision…trust me, I know all about the frustrations of job-hunting!
Sending good vibes your way during your job hunt! Good luck! That sounds like a great fitness plan! I wish I had your drive!
Oh, and I’m the same way with reading blogs… I get so behind sometimes! Eek!
Wow, you have been in a lot of weddings! I’ll definitely believe your claim to be a pro at it. I want to try my hand at being a bridesmaid (matron, what an ugly word), but I guess I’ll have to wait for my cousins and sisters to start getting married!
I’m sure you are the best at being a MOH. I know it’s not an easy job!
Sounds like you’ve got a great plan! That triathlon in September does sound like a great way to get some more triathlon experience. I love W&D. That was my first half marathon! And have you thought at all about what full you want to do? Is Disney in the running?
