The past few days have blurred together...all in one blog

Wednesday...
Long day at school. Ran after school around 4:45 got in 6.5 ran the last .5 barefoot. Averaged a pretty quick clip. It was a gorgeous day. I Recieved a phone call at 8:30 from Andrew. The tone of his voice gave me chills. I knew something was wrong. He informed me of the incident involving a McCutchanville truck and a firefighter. I was in shock after knowing both of these men. It broke my heart. It scared me, it made me sick. I can't imagine what these men are going through. Prayers go out to his family and friends.
Thursday and FridY...
Thursday I dedicated my evening to Andrew. I couldn't wait to just hug him a d not let him go. I keep thinking what if it was him? It's their line of work and duty and this just reminded me of the danger they face each and every day. Needless to say I didn't let him go all night. Friday I just didn't see a point in working out. This has opened my eyes to more important things in life and training right now is not one of them.
Saturday morning tri...
Andrew met me there and I warmed up a little over a mile.
Swam 767
Biked 10.5
Ran 2.37
Each was for 15 minutes. The swim and run were same as last year but the bike was .6 farther! Yay!! It was great to have the support of my mom and boyfriend at my side the whole time. The swim was disappointing but not a surprise, if I want to be better I have to train and I have not swam in weeks. Bike I was so happy with! Legs were dead afterward. The run I went to fast too soon and it bit me in the butt. Didn't pace it how I wanted but I'll take it.
Overall, I had the fastest bike and run for the females...so I was the overall winner. Only two males beat me. I think only two males beat me in the bike by .2 and two in the run. Of course, lots in the swim.
Andrew and I's parents met tonight! Lots of fun:-) such a great family we have been blessed with. We cooked dinner for them and then played catch phrase! Loving the people in my life and hoping they know that.
Woke up early did dishes and was at church by 8:30. Stopped by the station to see my love and then went home for a 6.5 mile run on this beautiful day. Miles 1-4 were at 7:40 felt easy and the last two went 7:14 and 7:07 the last half was easy barefoot. I just thought of all my blessings and thoroughly enjoyed a run for once! Went to the service for Jeremy this afternoon...wow...such a tragedy but so amazing to see everyone come together. I literally slept from 3:30-5 pm and then 7:30-10:30 pm and the finally drug myself in bed. I haven't been getting sleep and this was my body telling me to rest. I am ready to conquer next week and do it in God's glory and for all those who can't.

Also keep my cousins daughter Olivia in your prayers. She is battling a brain tumor and has gone through her second surgery at the young age of 3. She had a surgery last year and the tumor grew back in less than 6 months. The second surgery was a few weeks ago and they couldn't get it all and now they must do radiation. So much for a little body to handle. She is staying strong and sweet as ever...keep her and her family in your prayers.
