Day 35

I press toward the mark....
Only 1/2 a mile to go...
for the prize...
Lord, be my tylenol...
of the high calling of God...
why didn't I use my inhaler before I left today...?


Oh the thoughts that run through your head when you push your body beyond what it is comfortable with; but oh the reward! How sweet it is to know that by walking and running I can help somebody else to live! No matter how much grumbling I do, wondering if it's supposed to be this difficult, and "how come it was so easy yesterday, but today I feel like I'm climbing up hill the whole way?" ~ "I run because I can." I keep going because those that I run for do not have the option to quit!!! TO QUIT IS TO DIE ~ THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. So despite the set backs and the frustrations, the prayers and the triumphs, I press on...toward the goal...to run 13.1 miles (or 26.2 if God is gracious and I am that motivated) for the glory of the Lord and the benefit of the LLS (that's the Leukemia Lymphoma Society in case you didn't know). Today I learned a lot about perserverance, because it is sooooo easy to say "if I turn here I'll be home in 5 minutes and my body will thank me" versus "I run because they can't...IT'S NOT ABOUT ME!!!!" Oh how the flesh hates that phrase.

Today was a good day.

Okay, off to plan a karate lesson for my little dragons.
Love to all.
