Links

I have a few links to share with you: *I wrote a post about adoption at Mormon Women.  You can read it here.

*A friend of mine wrote an amazing post about her life as a Mormon Woman.  She is truly inspiring.  Go read it here.

*Julie P (Rarely Home Mom) wrote this post a little while ago about Finding Her Religion and I have been thinking about it ever since. 

*My friend sent me a link to this post because it shows some amazing fall colors. If you feel like being inspired, go have a peek.

*Through The Hen House, I found the 100 Mile Fitness Challenge.  It actually started on October 1, but I didn’t join until last week.  I think that I should still be able to get 100 miles by Dec. 1.  You can walk them, run them, or exercise them (15 minute=1 mile).  I started the week doing well.  I got 1 mile Friday, 2 on Saturday.  Monday I was excited because I play volleyball on a league and I would get 4 miles. 

Then in the first game of the set, I went up for a block.  I blocked but the woman on the other side of the net blocked it right back and as I came down, I landed on the side of my foot.  I had to be carried off the court, where I was immediately iced and wrapped.  I went in for x-rays yesterday morning and, luckily, it isn’t broken, but it is sprained.  It will make getting my miles harder, but I am determined to not give up.  I can still get 100 by Dec. 31.  I can lift weights.  Next week, maybe I can do some yoga.  Hopefully the week after that I will be back on the volleyball court and the treadmill.

Have you been inspired by anything you’ve seen online this week?

I'm sorry you got hurt! I saw that 100 mile challenge a week late and decided I was going to do it...2 days later I was really sick for a good 10 days and thought I had to give up. This post of yours makes me realize that if YOU can do it HURT, I should be able to do it well. Thanks for being an inspiration.
