From the mind of Brittany (Hey - You have dirt on your face.)

Text Hey - You have dirt on your face.

No, no, its dust. Because from Dust Thou Art, and Unto Dust Shalt Thou Return.

I was very proud of myself for going to church today during my lunch break. It was a great way to start of the season of Lent, especially because I missed Ash Wednesday service for at least the last four years. I decided what I was going to abstain from this year - cursing. It is not Godly nor lady-like. And if I’m going to say I’m a lady I should act like one! Also, to add to the fun, I’m starting a swear jar. If I mess up and curse during Lent, I’m putting money in a jar and donating that all to church on Easter. Hopefully, I can think faster than I speak (because I’m kind of broke) - but lets be real, I’ve never been able to do that. This will be a good test to start using my big girl vocabulary, after all - I paid for my education, I might as well sound like it.

In other news - still training for the Rock ‘N Roll Half Marathon. Mild bump in the road during Mardi Gras - its hard to run when there are way more fun things to be doing. But, this weekend is the Cowtown 10K. It is a 6.2 mile run that I’m hoping to knock out in 1 hour and 11 minutes. I know thats very specific - but the fastest I’ve run 6 miles so far is 1 hour and 13 minutes, and I’m hoping to be faster while adding on the extra .2 miles. I’ll keep you posted. Luckily Hayley and I are running together. I just can’t imagine being able to get up and make it to Ft. Worth for a 7am race on my own.
