Running

At the beginning of the year I set out to train for the river run. I am a little late posting it, but I was successful. I ran the 15K in 1:41:17. I am very pleased with that. I only began running in November of last year, and training for the run in January. It was really cool. I plan to run a 1/2 marathon in October. I am currently trying to find what is comfortable for me to run consistently. Due to travels and rain, I have only run once, 7 miles.

We made our first college visit this week with Andrea. We went to Palm Beach Atlantic University. West Palm Beach is a beautiful place. The college is really nice. The tennis coach had a great concept about tennis. His tennis team has a missions project in Costa Rica. They have been there 2 summers and plan to keep returning to work with the kids there. She would like to go into the field of Sports Medicine, so we talked with the head professor in that field. He was also a very neat guy. She was very encouraged with this as if she chooses this college, the two people she would work with the most, she was very comfortable with.
Briana is finishing her semester at FCCJ. She has been very active with the singles group. She is on the leadership team and helps plan the activities and their Ignite service. She plans to spend a few weeks this summer in the Dominican Republic.

Joanna is still quite the hacker. By this, we mean that she can fix anything. She is working very hard on her school.

Krista is still playing tennis. She is not competing this year but hopes to next year.

Our dogs are fine, thanks for asking. I will post pictures later.

It is raining here, it has been since Tuesday. We may need to start building an ark.
