Teammates, Running, and Routines

Teammates:
One of my [former] teammates, Mark, was shot yesterday after flying home to the Bahamas. He was hit in the pelvis and story has it that bystanders convinced the assailant from taking any further action. He underwent surgery and is currently recovering in the hospital. His wife and children are there with him. I would like to ask for your prayers to surround Mark, his family, and the entire event. There were some incredible circumstances that turned his life to Christ and then allowed him to come to Taylor and compete for us. He and his family help run the Joshua and Esther Foundation.

Running:
First of all, I love coaching track workouts. :) Absolutely love it. Kirstin had half-mile repeats today. We visited the track right after (and then during) a bit of rain. I love the smell of a wet track. :) It's such a different perspective standing on the timing ladder by the finish line watching her run and yelling splits. Anyway, she had an incredible workout. For great high school races, her coach would give her, as well as several other distance girls, cupcakes as a reward. Thus, they "run for cupcakes". So tonight I thought it would be fun to pick up some cake mix on the way home. We had chocolate cupcakes after dinner tonight. :)
OK, so maybe it's not running, but Tim is taking a gym class the next few weeks so that he can continue to do band all four years of high school. Today I'm fairly certain he played basketball for three hours straight, participated in various other physical activities, came home, crashed, and then went to swim practice for a few hours this evening while KK ran. He's getting his fair share of physical activity!

Routines:
So I've been home for a month. Tomorrow KK and I are attempting to implement a consistent schedule in our day as the current lack of one is driving us bonkers. Here's my rough outline:
6:30- wake up
7- drive Tim to school
8- return home and eat breakfast
8:30- accompany KK on her workout for the day
10- return home, do core workout/lift, shower
10:30- begin daily chores
12- lunch
1- "Intercessory Prayer" reading time
2- personal cleaning, packing, unpacking, job applications, etc.
Of course chores, reading, cleaning, packing, and applications are interchangeable, but this is at least a beginning to some better organization. Tonight I'm thankful for the chance to drive Tim in the mornings- it gives me a direct purpose for getting up early. :) And since I'm getting up early, I guess that also means I should be getting to bed early. That may take a little more work. ;)
