South West PA Tea Party

Hilly Willy

Yesterday’s 10k was hilly. Owie my quads 🙂

Madre & Hannah. Did I mention my mom walked the 5k?! Go mom!

^Do you like her shirt?! (P90x, LOL) [Also: Hannah and I were both age group winners.]

The race was super organized and very fun. I loved that it was at a church and the weather was awesome yesterday. God blessed the whole event ! The 10k was a double loop and it killed. I cut 2 minutes off of my best time to get a 47. I think I can do better!

Something very cool happened after the race. I noticed 2 farmiliar looking faces from 2 weekends ago. I was at a race in memory of Kenton Iwaniec on April 16th and had the chance to see his mother and sister (only from afar because they were busy with all of the race stuff!) Turns out, they had run the race yesterday too. Right after the awards ceremony was over I went to talk to his mom and sister and they approached me first.

Someone they knew had found my blog post about the race and told them about it! How cool is that?! I was so happy to talk to his family members and just thank them for all of their hard work and dedication through tough times in their lives. It is a small world 🙂

Back to yesterday…

I was at the South West PA Tea Party with many members from my church. I collected donations, helped with hayrides and even saw Herman Cain. Cool beans! Before anyone says anything about politics I just want to share this scripture:

Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.   1 Timothy 2:1-2

No matter who is in charge of the government or anyone, I will be praying for them. That’s that.

After the TEA Party Jim & I went to see Fast Five. I was a bit leery to see it because I had to study and sometimes I just don’t care about car movies though I do love cars.

I ended up liking the movie 🙂 Thanks for making me go Jimmy.

Okay, this post is long enough. Time to get ready for church.

Up next? A food and college post.

Have you ever had that awesome ‘small world’ feeling?
