COVID-19 week 8


COVID-19 week 8
The weather was not the warmest this week but we made the best of it! Here is what we were 
up too week 8!
It's been fun following the Top Virtual Times this month for the EC Marathon. So far I'm still holding 1st female for the Marathon, happy about that! Still so glad I did this and put my training into a race day. Such great practice as I think the marathon is such an art- gotta see what works best for you!
Amy and I took a nice walk and tried taking this selfie! Haha! It took a few tries, but we got it!! Such a highlight to my week to see her. 

 Drew got the chance to go to Wyatt's cabin last weekend and we were so exited for him. Andrea, his mom, sent me some pics of them together and I just loved this one. Looks chilly but still worth it.
 Caleb ventured over to Reece's house on his bike to see if he wanted to go grab Subway and have a picnic lunch together, so sweet! Love these moments with friends.❤️
 Ta da!! Here is the RV we will be taking this summer!!! We are beyond excited to head out on our big trip July 8th!! Fun to go visit our friends Kevin and Beth and get an official tour. It's gonna be so awesome!😃
 A bike ride with Mandy last week! Fun to get out on our bikes together. She is such a strong rider and I had fun trying to catch up with her! She definitely has biking legs, I have running legs. Note to self, limit my riding with her because she will destroy me!
 Get it Dunn #2 helping out our good friend Rachel! It has been so fun running with Rachel and becoming good running buddies this year. Thankful for these running friends of mine!!
 We took the boat out a few times but the weather wasn't the best.... although Kyle decided it was just right for some surfing! With his wetsuit on of course! He did GREAT! Even though it looked super chilly.
 The 3 of us did not swim this weekend, just enjoyed the lake and boat ride. Great moments to snuggle and giggle on the boat, and eat great snacks too.

Week 8 complete! The days are going quicker as the weather becomes nicer!! The sunrise in the mornings were gorgeous week 8! Thankful for early morning runs and time in my bible each day. I always feel like I am standing on a firm foundation when these two things start my day. 

Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock... Matthew 7:24-27
begin each day in God's word + going for a run= a GREAT day! 🙏🏼❤️

Getting better and getting ready to go home!

Hey There! We thank all of you so much for all of your prayer support through this entire process. Go sure had His hand in this from the beginning. Anna and Micah are both doing just great. Yesterday was a hard day for Anna, She was very tired and had a hard time as the Doctors began to take her off of some of the pain meds she was not feeling good. She began to get a high temp,but that was all taken care of by early in the night and she slept great. She will be again trying to get of the IV pain meds and move to pills, if this goes well today we will be on our way home to see Drew tomorrow. Anna and I are both really loving the calm personality that God gave to little Micah as we know the high energy that Drew has waiting for us at home. We can't wait to see his little smile again and hear all of his animal noises and cars sounds. It will be so great to see the way that God grows these two boys only 17 months apart. It will be crazy and great all at the same time. Pray ...

Big Bro Twin Cities Champion/Little Sis Big Woods 1/2 Marathon Champion

My brother and I are the crazy runners in our family! We took on the Twin Cities Marathon challenge on October 7th and trained like mad to get ready for the event. We began the morning feeling great and ready to take on the challenge before us, yet not knowing only one of us would finish. Ben was taking on his first marathon and was looking forward to finishing and enjoying this wild adventure! I however have done a few of these already and was aimed to kick some butt in the process. So, different goals, but the same idea in mind-lets run the race for Christ. The race did not go as planned for me. The weather was extremely hot and humid and it totally took over my body. All I can really remember is thinking, "Wow it is really hot and I am really sweating!" With little to drink I passed out at mile 10 of the marathon! My time at that point was 1 hour 7 minutes..... on track for an amazing marathon. Truly discouraged I attempted to get back in the race to pass out AGAIN at mil...

Lately  I have been asked by many- “Now that you’ve accomplished one of your biggest goals, what’s next??” and to be honest I have been really soaking up my 2:58:01 marathon accomplishment and feeling extremely grateful my body felt so strong and healthy for that race. I will never take for granted a healthy body… many of you know my journey has included some pretty tough injuries along the way. So first, I really haven’t hurried to find a “next goal” but have sat in awe and thankfulness. All that to say I am a goal kinda girl and love a good challenge. So on Jan 1, 2024 I signed up to race the Javelina Jundred with some of my greatest running buddies! It will be my 2nd 100miler and this time will be held in Arizona (not Iowa) where it will be very hot. My goal tho will be to have a blast with running friends and finish the race- different then a road race goal….  I really love a good challenge!!  easy trail runs have started….and at the perfect time when the wild flowers...
