A Glimpse of Greatness

Featured above is the lovely PKRC Team that made Summer 2008 probably the greatest ever! I chose the goofy picture to show you all, because that is more consistant with the energy, spirit, and attitude that is required of those visiting Peaceable Kingdom. Seriously all the people in this picture are just absolutely amazing and deserve extra jewels in their crowns!

Training on Hold...

The past couple of our runs I have had some "innard" issues....don't ask please. I promise you don't want the details. Anyways, I went to see my doctor and was referred to a GI Specialist and was told to put my training on hold while things were "looked into".

So, I am totally fine! I just wanted to update those of you dedicated readers on our status (both sets of parents...hehe)

On a more accomplished note: We did knock out our 11 miler this past Sunday. That has been our longest run so far and we learned that those who are WALKING on trails do not care whatsoever that you are approaching them at a faster speed and will not move over to get out of your way...Apparently since we are running we should go around. So the Peacocks had a throwdown in the woods on Sunday...don't worry we did not use our feet, only our hands have the battle wounds. :) Seriously though we almost had a trail pile-up because these ladies did not scoot over and we were running towards them. (If only we had horns to honk).

Ya'll have a great week!

"Drive Gently"

So Matt and I found a great place to run on our long days. It is this park that has miles of hidden trails that wind through the woods and then takes you on this very quiet road...making you feel as if you clicked your ruby red slippers together and ended up in some beautiful county side. Today was our 8 mile run which went by surprisingly fast due to the weather and scenery. One of my favorite things to do is run in the rain and today was the perfect rain to run in. It wasn't too hard and it came in spurts so we got nice cool breaks before the next shower. We also had multiple deer sightings, which is something that will never get old for me.

The funny part of our run comes from the title of this post. On the downhill part of our country road there was this yellow sign that said " Drive Gently". For some reason Matt and I found the randomness and idea of gently driving somewhere very humerous.

Anyways, our route today reminded us of how spectacular our God truly is and how there will always be more sightings of him around every corner whether it's through the cool rain for the gracefullness of a family of deer. He is everywhere!
