A bunch of us drove up to Long Beach this past weekend for the Beach Palooza.  Let me tell you, running on soft sand majorly sucks.  Not that I really trained hard for this 5K obstacle course but we did want to make an attempt to complete it in a somewhat reasonable time.  The last 5k obstacle course we did was Warrior Dash where we clocked in a slow time due to the fact that everyone waited for everyone.  Haha.  This time around we wanted to make an attempt.  I think my “training” went as far as running maybe once a month on average.  The most I had run in one duration was roughly 2.7 miles.  But man, running on the soft sand was so hard!  I couldn’t do it for very long at all.  And the obstacles were so far apart and then they weren’t even as cool or fun.  Boo.  I gave Beach Palooza pretty bad reviews in their survey, haha.  But it was still fun to just hang out with everyone, get a pineapple hat, and t-shirt.

I also bumped into 2 people from high school that I haven’t seen since…high school.  Random!

I should probably keep up with some running but its going to be hard.

And I’m really only blogging about this so I can look back and remember what I did in 2011.  Haha.

Today I feel strange.  It’s a feeling that I can’t describe, at all.

I’m drawn to sunsets.  I like chasing them.  I should go see them more often.

I like cloudy skies.  Cloudy skies with a big bright sun.  Makes the sky look magnificent.

Overused…

“We’re close…” – referring to “close to being done/complete.”

“It’s a simple integration” – it’s never simple.

“We’re onboard” – of course you are…

Sometimes I feel like God answers prayers in ways we can’t imagine.  We have this idea in our head of what we’re seeking or pray for things to happen but when the prayer is answered it doesn’t always fit into how we wanted it to be answered or expected it to be answered.

Never satisfied right?  How sad is that.  I’ve had a prayer, maybe two, answered recently and I’m thankful but I’m also like…BUT…what about this…or what about that.  My prayer was answered yet I am not fully satisfied – why?  Geez, makes me feel so demanding, needy, and ungrateful even though I should be really happy because God hears me.

What a horrible flaw…never satisfied.

I need to trust more and allow God to take control of things.

It’s the principle that counts.  Not happy.

Curious to see what God is orchestrating.

Playing texas hold ’em for push ups and sit ups is way more fun than playing with fake money and possibly real money.
