Julie's Here!

My best friend Julie from Winston is here! She arrived last evening and we had some good time together. She's here for a speech therapy conference, and I'm just so thankful to have some of "my peeps" around. She never fails to make me laugh!

I've been able to do a little more exercise lately. I've been "spinning" (cycle classes) and walking. NCRC (NC Roadrunners Club) has a group run this evening and Isaac and I are going. I'm just going to walk like I did last week. I don't want to push it too much when my achilles is feeling a little better. I love April Series of NCRC. I've met some really neat people, and it's great to exercise with other people--very motivating!

I'm coordinating food for a 5k road race this weekend. The run benefits the Raleigh Police dept and we have over 500 people registered so far. It should be a great morning. We're hoping to go hiking at Umstead this weekend. It's 15 minutes away and has some good trails. I read something in Isaac's Men's Health magazine about not having to be tied to the gym if you already lead an active lifestyle. I like that thought, and Isaac and I are definitely committed to being active.

Need to finish getting ready for work. I'm very grateful to God for good friends and for the sun, and the ability to exercise! Go God!
