Rest days

He liked it

Jim was totally surprised and liked the cake… and the taste!I know some people were wondering how I did this cake. The bun is two yellow cakes, frosted. The meat patty is a brownie and the condiments are fondant. The sesame seeds are sprinkles 🙂

Some recent eats:

This was my first time trying Amy’s soup and I thought it was kind of spicy.. weird?!

Erika’s Chickpea Feta Salad … it was SO good! 

Carrot-ginger soup. Such a good combo. I’ll be posting the recipe soon enough 😉

**********************************

In other news: Today Jim turns 21 and we are going out with his family to their local Korean restaurant. This restaurant is delish. Jim and I used to be addicted when we were first dating. I love how Korean food clears the sinuses!

I am going to start running today. (Probably 6 miles) I’ll let ya’ll know how I feel and hopefully remember to update my Daily Mile for Hollie, LOLZ. 

I plan on taking tomorrow off of running and then on Saturday I’ll legit start my cross country’s program of running 7 days a week :/ nervous muchhhh.

Bible verse of the day: For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. John 3:17

What do you think of Amy’s soups?

Does anyone else feel like running 7 days a week is crazy?

Do you like Korean food?

Updates: college & ultra marathon

I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. 1 Corinthians 1:10

I think a lot of Christians often fight about little things in the Church and in life. It makes me sad because we should all be united and working towards one goal together!

Time for some updates: I won’t be doing the ultra marathon. But here are some pictures from the trail run…

To be honest I am kind of relieved to not be running this ultra because I don’t feel prepared at all. Here is why I’m not running it:

Yesterday my cross country coach emailed me (and other new girls on the team) my first week of summer runs for Seton Hill. I asked him if I could do the trail run and seriously, he kind of freaked out on me. Great. He actually made me sound dumb for even asking.

That makes me sad. My first thought was, “Well, I should have chose to go to OVU for college because surely a Chritsian coach wouldn’t have treated me like that.” But I am a naturally sensitive person so I’m not going to stress out about it.

I am actually going to take more time off of running before I start my summer cross country training. My body needs rest and I don’t care what my coach says. Sorry dude. I’ll let ya’ll know when I do decide to start running and what the coach has all of us doing. This week is only slow runs and pretty short runs. (The longest being 6 miles). So i’m not worried about skipping them. He also has us running 7x a week, which is weird to me cause I love my rest days.

On a positive note, it is supposed to be 80* in Pittsburgh today! Yee-Haw!!!!

Ever have one of those “crap what did I get myself into moments?!”
