Week 20- Chocolate, birthdays and an Exciting New Opportunity

Finally caught up! week 20 is this week. I can make my post less winded and fresh now! This week started with the hot chocolate race that my sister Kelli and I entered. It was so awesome, a 5k in down town Dallas and it was actually on the day of Emi's birthday. What a way to celebrate!! Kelli and I finished and did it in a record time for the two of us running together. As a side note Kelli just decided to be a runner a little while ago and since then she has amazed me with how she just tackles it. She didn't walk once during the entire race and that was also the longest she had run since starting to train. In terms of my hip after the race, I have been sore this last week from the run but I won't stay down for long.

Her food is the delicious one with the chocolate, mine sadly is the other

This week was awesome in PT too, we added a ton of new drills all surrounding soccer and it was a blast. I got to do volleys will balancing on a bosu ball, headers while hopping on one foot and so much more. Best valentine's day present ever! 

I also got a call from the Leukemia and Lymphoma research foundation. They contacted me to become one of their "Team in Training Athletes". What will God possibly come up with next because honestly he ceases to amaze me everyday.

Did I mention I turned 21 this week, it was a much different birthday than I was expecting to have a month ago but it was still wonderful and I was greatly reminded how blessed I am. I even get to go see my friend Dan because of his uber generous gift! God is good and he has taken my weaknesses and used them for way better things than I am capable of =]
