Well, July has brought some new things for us. Hot, humid runs and a toddler who is trying to grow up. The runs have been hard, but not impossible. I am learning how to slow down so that I can run farther, longer. It doesn't seem to make much sense to my mind, but when I slow my pace down, my overall time is faster. The last couple Saturdays I've tried to run the same course, just to give myself something to gauge how I'm doing by. Last Saturday, I slowed my pace down, but I ran more than I had previously run. I knocked a couple minutes off of my finishing time! I was so thrilled! I did have to walk a couple times, but I kept them short and just until my breathing slowed to the point of no longer gasping. :-) It was an enlightening experience. Before, I would try to run as fast as I could for as long as I could. That doesn't work for me. I need to slow down and try to run as far as I can.
This month, Jianna's vocabulary has sky-rocketed. She has started putting words together into sentences, and wants to communicate almost from the time she wakes up until she lays down. She asks "why?" and "what's that?" a lot, too. It is fun to see her changing and growing.
Well, that's what's new with us so far. Not much exciting going on. Hope you all enjoy the rest of your summer!
