Well I can't say I didn't see it coming...

The call I knew was coming finally came.  BFF & I have always had the uncanny ability to be thinking the same thoughts or ideas. For example when we first met at work, we became fast friends. We would instant message each other the same exact thing at the same exact second. I would type Azteca???? And as I pressed enter a message would pop up from her "Azteca for lunch?"  It has always been crazy how we do it. In my recent post Time Travel I compared my eating and health issues to an alcoholic. Without reading that post yet BFF called yesterday to express her concern about my training, or lack there of, and how she sees me kind of like an alcoholic but addicted to food. I was like are you sure you haven't read my blog? LOL! Anyways, I told DH at the beginning of this year I was expecting BFF to not end up coming to Disneyland for the Tinkerbell Half. IShe had started talking about her desire to complete the Honolulu Marathon and how she isn't sure how she is going to come up with money for all the trips. I could feel and hear in her voice how important the marathon was to her. I told her I can't go this year cause we have two Disney trips and I don't have money for all of them. She doesn't have the same love for Disney like do, but then again most people don't. ;-) She much rather go to Hawaii than Disney any day. She only signed up for this because I said it was on my bucket list and she wanted to support me. However with my lack of training she has now expressed her concern, and she has every right to be. She doesn't want to spent all the money to Disneyland just for me to be picked up by the fail bus and not complete the half.  I know she's been thinking about this for a while and I am pretty sure it was my concern with signing up for the Hot Chocolate 15K that pushed her over the edge. I totally understand and I am not upset with her at all. I completely get where she is coming from, I mean I blogged about it just a few days ago, this is all on me.  I told her that not completing the half is not the plan and she believes me but then we have my addictions to take into consideration. If she chooses to save her money for her marathon goal in Hawaii, I will totally understand.  Who knows maybe being able to take the concern of disappointing each other would help us reach new personal bests.  Even though our journey's may end up on different paths we will be there supporting each other all the way.

After all this talk I was scrolling through Facebook and saw this prayer. I claim this prayer in the name of Jesus!

Today I did something that I blogged about a year and 3 months ago. I wrote a post label "I want to run in the rain"  Today was just a half hour run on the training schedule and I felt like running outside. But after all the beautiful weather we've been having in the NW the rain came back today.  I decided well it's not pouring and I want to run outside. And I did. I ran in the rain today. I wrote I don't know where the desire to run is coming from. This was back when I was looking at runners a little enviously wishing I could do that and today I did.
