a study on Ruth

Every year Beth Moore's blog does a summer bible study. This year I'm very excitted will be doing a study on Ruth by Kelly Minter. I have never heard of her before and am looking forward to being introduced to another teacher. This study has no traditional teaching it's just the study that you would do at home. Kelly Minter is also a music artist and has a music CD to go along with the study. Beth Moore's guided study will start Tuesday, June 22nd. If your interested jump on board quickly.

Take the ride of a lifetime

This is so going on my bucket list. I saw a brochure for this when I first started training for a 5K. But I am so not physically fit for it. Plus I can't leave my kids for 8 days and we don't have the finances. But maybe some day.....

There is a bike ride you can take to support the Arthritis Foundation at the end of September. It goes from San Francisco to Santa Monica, a 525 mile ride. Wow! But what a once in a lifetime experience. You are provided breakfast and dinner and there are sightseeing along the way for lunch stops and you camp all the way down the coast. There is also people who follow you that help carry your camping gear and help if you run into technical difficulties. Russ and I joke around, maybe next year. But even if we are diligent in our training. I don't know if we would be physical fit enough for it. But defiantly someday!

Some fun 5K's coming up

Here are some fun 5K's coming up!

There are a lot July 4th. If you want to spend your independence day running. I'm going to be doing one in Redondo Beach. Here for more info.

There is one in Santa Paula at the end of July that sounds like a blast. But I have something going on that day and wont be able to do it. You run through country roads winding through cool citrus groves. And that same day they also have a hot air balloon festival. Maybe next year. Click here for more info. It might be fun to go to just to go to the hot air balloon festival.

There is a mud race at the Pasadena Rose Bowl. I originally started thinking about doing 5K's when a friend of mine did a mud race in San Diego. I was pregnant with Austyn at the time and decided to make it my way of getting my body back in shape after having two kids. This one is in August. Click here for more info.

Believe it or not Disneyland is having a race. Awesome huh! They actually have a half marathon (but don't worry I will be only doing the 5K). The half marathon starts at downtown disney, runs through disneyland, then california adventure, then into the streets of Anaheim to the Angels stadium where you run past home plate and back to downtown disney. Seeing how it is 4 times as far as I have been training. Maybe next year. LOL. Here is the info. If you want to do it, register now because I think it is almost full.

Fun things coming up even if you just want to watch or go for some fun festivals.
