Blink

Blink
Revive

"Teach me to number my days
And count every moment before it slips away
Taking all the colors before they fade to gray
I don't want to miss even just a second more of this

It happens in a blink
It happens in a flash
It happens in the time it takes to look back
I try to hold on tight, but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life
It happens in a blink

When it's all said and done
No one remembers how far we have run
The only thing that matters is how we have loved
I don't want to miss even just a second more of this

It happens in a blink
it happens in a flash
it happens in the time it takes to look back
I try to hold on tight but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life
It happens in a blink

Slow down, slow down
Before today becomes our yesterday
Slow down, slow down
Before you turn around and it's too late

It happens in a blink
it happens in a flash
it happens in the time it takes to look back
I try to hold on tight but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life
It happens in a blink."

I heard this song on Air 1 the other day on my way to work. I LOVE this song and I love to hear it now when it comes on the radio. It really makes you think! Life goes by SO fast! I want to enjoy every moment that God has given me! This is another reason why I love running...it gives me so much time to think and reflect on my day/week, etc. Life is so short...we never know when our time is near. We just need to slow down and enjoy the wonderful life God has blessed us with! :0)

Let's see where I left off last...oh yeah, last Saturday. Well, Sunday we had softball practice. We have a church co-ed team and last Sunday was our first practice. It was fun..I haven't played in a few years so I was worried how it would be. I can still hit though!!! I was very excited about that! lol I played for my high school back in the day. It was fun and I always loved playing softball! I played slow pitch growing up and I got to where I could get base hit off about anything that was thrown at me. When I had to switch to fastpitch, I was DEVASTATED and SCARED so my strategy until I got used to hitting the ball was to crowd the plate so I would get hit by the pitch and get to first! lol Bad strategy I know but it worked! Then, once I got used to hitting the ball, I got to where I could hit almost anything in fast pitch. Now since High School, I've had to revert back to slow pitch. I played a few years for co-ed teams and like I said, it's been a while so I was worried but it's all good cause I didn't have any trouble switching back! lol

Anyway, Monday night, we had our track/interval workout with my running group. We jog the curves and sprint as hard as we can the straightaways for 5 minutes. Then a break and do it again 3 more times. That mess is HARD. I much rather the hill workouts we did during marathon season! lol We also worked our core afterwards which was good for me!

I took Tuesday and Wednesday off because I was hurting from the weekend! lol

Saturday, I ran 12 miles with my running group. It was a good run...we had good weather that morning. I knew it was going to rain but not till the afternoon so I'm glad it held off! I'm so glad I've made friends in my running group cause otherwise, I don't know that I would have gotten up out of bed at 4 a.m. on my own to go run 12 miles at 5 a.m.! lol We have a good time, though! After the run, I came home and SLEPT! Haha! Jason and I had Izzos for lunch then we watched the Princess and the Frog before he left for work! I love having time to spend with him! :0)

To update on the nail biting thing...I've done SO good! This weekend will make an entire month! I hope I can keep this up!! lol

Today was supposed to be softball practice again but the weather is so gross and nasty outside (freezing/wet) so it was cancelled for today! Instead, I came home and cleaned my ENTIRE house! Feels great to have a clean house now! It was totally driving me nuts!

Anyway, I hope to run a few nights this week, then next 5K is on Saturday! My sister in law is running it with me! Woohoo! Our hospital has a team so I joined it! Hopefully I'll do better in this race than I did in the last one since I'm not sick this time! lol I don't plan on placing though because this is one of the biggest 5K's in the area! I think last year had almost a thousand people in it! Crazy!! This is the 5K: Free to Breathe
