Ahhhh

We have a week left. 

Panic.

Has. Set. In. 

We've raised over 3,000 dollars in our Run Ranger Run event so far, I couldn't be happier by that. That's 3,000 more than what GallantFew had before this event started. But, we also made a commitment to log 565 miles. 

We have a lot to log still. But, that's okay. Right now chaos may set in and worry, but we will get it. 

I just know it. 

I've got some great peeps on Team Moving For The Military!! Between now and the 28th I'll be out getting those miles in, and thinking of other ways to do more, especially for our servicemen.
    


But, enjoy this until my final update..

Liar Liar Pants on Fire

February 1st 

When I thought I was back to running I had one thing blocking my path; I went to my Endocrinologist and had my scheduled check up on my Thyroid. For the last few years I've felt with Graves Disease; or Hyperthyroidism. 

My levels were again, very high, and my heart rate elevated. He suggested that I stop all physical activity, double my thyroid medicine and add on a heart pill, to lower my heart rate. I was devastated to say the least. I felt like I had just been given the golden ticket after surgery, then this. 

So, I started up on the new meds, and had to track my heart rate and blood pressure every day. My blood pressure is naturally on the low end and had to make sure it didn't get any lower... So in the meantime we stayed busy doing other things..

 
And we celebrated Christmas! 


Then we rang in the new year!


My sweet little Reiker also had a birthday! I cannot believe my little man is now 5 years old! He had a fun day going to breakfast, going shooting and having a big party at the bowling alley! 


My dad flew into town and helped us ring in the new year and celebrate Reiker's birthday a little early since he wouldnt be here during the party...we had way too much fun!

We have had wrestling two nights a week and Saturday mornings since October, and start up again in March. They have had a great time and really learned a lot

We've started 2015 with a bang and look forward to what this year will bring! 

Today is the start of RUN RANGER RUN 2015...the reason I started this blog in the first place. To track miles and memories through the 565 mile experience. And a year has passed and here we go again. I cannot wait to get out there and log miles. My brother left yesterday for Georgia, he is in Ranger school as we speak. We are all so proud of him and his decision to join the military and serve our country. Miss that kid so much but proud to be his sister. 


Pray for all of our military as they make the ultimate sacrifice. Join our Run Ranger Run team, Morbing For The Milititary, or donate. All proceeds go to GallantFew, they offer services to Rangers who are transitioning from active duty to civilian life. Updates throughout the month on our journey will be posted the next 28 days!! 


One Week Down

Run Ranger Run 2015 is a week in, and I honestly never imagined we'd be this far! I hoped; but didn't want to get my hopes up. Currently we have raised $2,640 dollars! We surpassed the $500 goal 3 days in, so we decided to up that and add another 0 to the end of that and roll with an even $5,000. 

I cannot believe we're half way and praying for a few more donations to meet that goal, or even pass it. During the month we need to also log 565 miles as a team and right now we're at 149....I've been blessed with a great group who all work together to make a great team. 

Took a nice long ride today. Around Jensen Nature Pond and north on the trail then back. A great 18.5 mile ride in 60 degree weather! 

This whole thing is more then a fundraiser. I just imagine my brother might need something that this could provide for him...or others just like him.  I love that boy! Both my brothers are amazing young men, whom I love dearly! 

This weekend my sweet Brock went to the Youth State Wrestling tournament. He didn't win, but he had a great time. Win or lose he doesn't care, he goes out there, tries his hardest and works his little butt off. All he wants is to be out there and learn. He showed such character and strength. Love that boy ❤️
In two weeks he begins Greco Wrestling and Reiker starts soccer soon. In the mean time we will sign up for swim lessons and stay busy, busy!! 


And my other two beasties just being cute as usual..
