Happy Saturday!

It's only 10:45am and it's already been a busy morning!  I couldn't sleep in (again- yes, thanks to my noisy puppies!) so I threw on some running clothes & hit the pavement!  I got in 3.2 miles, and it was a nice, cool, peaceful jog at 6:30am!  I listened to an audio book, and it just makes the time go so much quicker!  I came home & played with the dogs, showered, and ran some errands with Pat.  We went to the store, then went to Mercy to visit my Grandma.  She was admitted to the hospital yesterday, and they are continuing with some heart tests today.  She is in good spirits, and just wants out of there :)  I'm praying that the tests turn out well & she gets to go home soon!  We left there & headed to pick up Elisabeth from a church sleepover.  She had a great time!  We finally grabbed some breakfast and made it back home!  Pat is working downstairs, and then we are heading out to my parents for awhile!

Hebrew's Coffee - love this place!

FAITH & FAMILY (COMBO TODAY!):


I haven't started a new devotional yet.  I'm sure I will find one that's right for things that are occurring in my life :)  I guess that today for my 'faith' section of the blog, we'll talk about my Grandma!  She is a great woman who is very strong in her beliefs & her faith.  She has four kids, lots of grandkid's, and now has 4 great-grandkid's (and soon to be 5!)  Her faith has led to all of our beliefs & faith in God!  She's been in church her entire life, and has lots of great stories about growing up in Springfield!  One that I recently told my daughter is about the junior high she attended.  It's the same one that my daughter is going to start in a few weeks!  It's pretty neat how they will have several generations from one family attending the same school!  She's had a few health problems, but been relatively healthy for her age (I can't say her age- a lady never tells!!)  We lost my Grandpa to cancer when I was a freshman in high school.  I know that's been tough on her, but she's stayed strong & continues to live on her own in the house that we've all visited since we were kids!  Countless sleepovers, cookie baking sessions, and lunches of her spaghetti have been happening as far back as I can remember :)  So today, say a prayer for her & the doctors that are running the tests.  She was in good spirits, and laughed as we walked in because she just wants to go home!


FITNESS:


I had a great run today!  I probably consumed the calories burnt from the run with the caramel latte I just finished, but I am feeling good today :)
I have had a few emails and Facebook messages from potential clients recently who complimented me on my blog- woohoo!  I hope that it is reaching out to those that can find something useful in it!  I have some new clients starting when school begins (which is just a few weeks away- I'm going to miss this time with my kiddo that we are getting this past week!) and I am so excited to help them reach their health & fitness goals!  If you're thinking about personal training or would like to join in a fitness class, I would love to hear from you!  I'll answer your questions, and I do have space open in my morning & evening classes, as well as times available for personal training!  Send me a message on Facebook, email (trainingbyjen@hotmail.com) or on here!


Happy Saturday friends- enjoy your day!
