Life is busy. Too busy. Our culture is terrible at resting. I am terrible at resting. But we NEED regular rhythms of rest to offset how hard we work. One day of purposeful rest can recharge us to tackle another busy week. Resting well is a survival skill I am grateful to be learning.
My husband Curt is wrapping up his second year of full time doctoral school. He also works a more than full-time job, is an elder at our church, and somehow is still keeping his title of Best Husband and Daddy around. He is ah-mazing.
As a family we said YES to the doctorate knowing it would mean saying NO to a host of other good things. I say YES to serving my husband. YES to my kids and their friends. YES to trying to keep up with the house work and yard work. YES to daily time with Jesus. YES to my business as a photographer. YES to Supper Club once a month. And YES to running every day. Almost everything else has become a NO, including good things I loved.

Willamette Valley Marathon and Keizer Iris Festival Runs 2016: Register Now
by Jodi
Hi Running Friends. And Non-Running Friends. And Walking Friends.
Did you know that the Keizer Iris Festival is not just about irises, carnival rides, food, beer, and good times with family and friends? The city of Keizer also puts on a series of races the weekend of May 21st and 22nd. The events are well organized, chip timed, and lots of fun. Learn more about the races on the Iris Festival website.
Three years ago the race director added a marathon to the slate of races. I had the privilege of being part of the inaugural running. I liked this race so much that I ran it again last year and just signed up to run it again this year.
The out-and-back marathon course is beautiful. Runners head out of Keizer into the rolling Willamette Valley countryside. We run past fields of flowers, hops farms, vineyards, and Willamette Mission State Park. Being out in the wide open spaces is rejuvenating.
