I have working, (or at least trying to), very hard training. I'm still not the world's best runner, and probably never will be. BUT I can run about a mile without stopping. Which compared to when I started is amazing progress! Or at least I think it is, and that's what counts right? My whole family has been great support while I "torture" myself. My mom and little sister have been eating healthy and even working out with me. I'm so happy that they've decided to join me in this fitness, healthy journey. I know only good things are going to come out of it. It's really amazing how many things I'm capable of doing and how great I feel from working out and getting exercise.
Besides training and saving for my fabulous trip, there's been plenty of other things happening in my life. This summer I spent about 2 months in Wausau, Wisconsin at my grandparents house with my little sister, Mikayla. That was a lot of fun. It's something we haven't done since we were little. We absolutely loved remembering and thinking about all of the fun things we did there. We took plenty of trips to the places we visited and played when we were little. Like climbing on the rocks on Rib Mountain, swimming in rivers and dells, playing in the forest and trees, riding our bikes to the school and playground that's close(ish) to their house. Many, many memories. We also got to see a lot of family members that we haven't seen in a very long, from going to birthday parties, graduation parties, and celebrating the fourth of July it was a lot of fun.
Not many things have happened since I have come back home to Iowa. I'm trying to go back to school to finish my degree, which I will be very happy about when that happens. The only other exciting thing that I'm doing is dying my hair!! Woooo!! And getting a haircut, BUT I'm not telling you how I'm dying it...I guess you're all going to have to wait for the next post on here with the pictures :)
In case any of you wanted to see, here are some pictures of some of my adventures from this summer :) Enjoy!
