so we meet again...

there's a few things in my life i am very familiar with. something i meet over & over again, something i do not particularly enjoy. each time i meet them, i am hoping it is for the last time.

A TWO MILE RUN & 1 NEPHI.

i don't think i'm the only one this way with 1 Nephi. so many times i have vowed i am going to finish the Book of Mormon, beginning to end. i start off strong, making it through 1 Nephi, even a little bit past. but then of course life happens and i find myself dwindling with my reading. so later, i opt to starting over. i have read 1 Nephi more times than i can count.

the same goes for running. i have been partners with a two mile for too long now. each time i catch the running bug, i always have to work to get past the two miles. two miles is an everyday kind of run, not a run that is going to get you in shape for a half marathon. i always have to start training, and getting past the two miles is always the hardest speed bump for me. if i stayed in shape after the last race, i wouldn't always have to retrain. yesterday my dad & i went on a short run in the desert of arizona. it reminded me how much i love to run & how much i miss it in my life lately. {yes, i got to go to part of spring break with my family thanks to my wonderful dad who is a pilot so i can hop on a flight for a short amount of time no problem}

so, this summer, my promise is that i am going to get past my two mile & 1 Nephi barrier. i will conquer both of them, but not stop there. i will get in shape for the half marathon my dad & i will be running at the end of the summer, as well as complete the book of mormon this summer.

{but first, i must finish finals.... wish me luck!}
