Today was our first day back to school and I must say I enjoyed not being a freshman anymore. :) We have 60 new student at our school and I would say we are definitely crowded, but somehow I ended up with less students in my class. There are 5 of us in grammar and 4 of us in conversation. I have the same people as last trimester. I'm glad for this. My teachers seem AMAZING - as I was told they would be. I think I am going to learn a lot and be challenged like crazy at the same time.
On other news, I ran a mile 2 different times this week. My knee is feeling very good, but my hamstring is still giving me problems. But I RAN!!! 2 miles in total and it took me a ridiculous amount of time to complete them, but I did it. I can't believe that this time last year I was running 26 miles and now I'm huffing and puffing to get through one. I just hope I can continue to run here and there and get better. I just need to find out what's up with my hamstring. It has been hurting for the entire year too, so who knows? But at least it's bareable.
I know I sound kind of blah, but running again was one of the best things that has happened to me this year. One day I'll write a blog telling you how spiritual the experience was for me.
Tomorrow is our day at the restoration house. Please pray God will give us the words to communicate His love to these precious people.

Eric Liddel -- Gold Medal Olympian Runner (Chariots of Fire was the movie made for his life). He was also a missionary to China. He said: "When I run, I feel His (God's) pleasure". I say: "Running is a spiritual act of worship." I can't wait to run again, too! 12 weeks and counting:-)
Love,

Well I walked on the treadmill for 2 miles last week and it took me 45 minutes- I'm sure you ran MUCH quicker than that! You'll get back to that 26 before you know it! I hope you deliver and receive many blessings tomorrow at the house!
