Morning/Afternoon lovely’s! I hope your Saturday was a good one! I have church today, but I am going to enjoy the afternoon and rest some. Today is also my long run of 7 miles.
We also gained an hour last night. How are you doing with that??? Do you like falling back and gaining an hour? I think it’s a toss-up for me, because I don’t particularly like getting up when it’s dark and then going home from work when it’s dark. It’s the whole losing an hour of daylight in the afternoon that I don’t like, but I guess it’s better than springing forward.
Workout:
7 Mile Run:

I felt really great on this run!
So it’s November the 4th and I am so thankful for Christ. Because when I don’t feel loved, or feel like I don’t have purpose, or when I get sad I know that true love, my purpose and my happiness comes from having a relationship with Him.
I found this cool 21 Day Challenge on a blog that I read called The Chocolate Mile that I thought was pretty neat. One of the requirements is to have Twitter, but since I don’t have it I am just going to follow along on my blog. I have missed a couple of days, but I am still going to jump right in!
Day 1: Write a letter to yourself about how you feel today, seal it up and open it on Thanksgiving.
Day 2: Step outside of your box! Do something that you’ve been wanting to do, but makes you uncomfortable.
Day 3: Call someone up that you have been thinking about, but haven’t talked to in a while.
Day 4: Operation beautiful. Leave a note for someone.
Breakfast:
Pre-run I ate one waffle with some almond butter and waited 30 minutes before I ran, but once I was finished I made myself a banana/chocolate smoothie.
- 1 cup of 30 Calorie almond milk
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder
- 1 large handful of spinach
Last night I looked over at my bed and this is what I found:
He kind of just blends in with the blanket… in case you were wondering, he is there now. 
So this past week I have watched this tree’s leaves turn. It was the coolest thing to watch and I wish that I would have taken a picture earlier in the week. I love the colors!!
I am off to rest for a little bit! Have a wonderful day!

I loved your thankful paragraph! Beautiful! That seems like a really cool challenge, I’ll have to check it out, I need to push myself outside of my box a little!
He is the only reason I am able to walk around!

What a beautiful tree – I hope to see your American fall trees in person one day (we don’t have so many like that in Australia) as they are so gorgeous
I love the idea of that 21 day challenge too, I’ll look forward to following along with what you get up to!
It’s one of my favorite things here, especially in the south. I really do love the idea of the 21 Day challenge!
