The Run

The run yesterday was 7.5 miles in 50:26. Fast and painful, I wanted to quit and walk home because I knew I was faster than I wanted to be...I knew I could handle it but why if I didn't have to...running is a choice not a requirement. Then I finished with a OK time and feeling great (couple sore spots this morning) and ready to run again today. That is how it is in life, there are many though things we do by choice because they are the right thing to do. While we go through them it seems fast and painful but in the end we understand why we kept running. Run the race to win the prize.

One Step at a Time

There are so many things on the schedule not to mention the dreams, desires, wish list and regular to dos but I can't wrap my schedule around any of them. I am frustrated with my progress and lack of focus... I only ran 4 miles yesterday but it always helps but me back in step. I have to remember that regardless of the amount of miles I run in a day each mile comes with one step at a time. Rather 4 or 26.2 if you don't take a step you will not go forward. So here I sit with my long list....God help me take it one step at a time.

I want to leave something

For some coming up with something to do during a run lasting longer than an hour. For me I start to pray, worship and think about life. Sunday night during a 8.75 mile run to my parents I main prayer and thought was this...God I want to be a man my children will admire, I want to be a man YOU (God) can say well done, however I generally think I have a long way to go before on either end.

My Prayer - God help me be what you have called me to be...and get me up this hill.
