Hebrews 12:1 – “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.

Wow, so its been a long time since I've really really posted. I'm sure some of you have been missing me :)

My marathon training is coming to an end this week. On Sunday I will get up, lace up my shoes, put my hair in a ponytail and head down town with Marilee. Its been an interesting journey and I'm excited to see how it will end. Last night I sat at a dinner where THE JEFF GALLOWAY spoke about running. It was motivational to know that even he hadn't started out as a runner. These past few days every time I say "I'm not really a runner" people correct me. I guess I officially am a runner. (not a very fast one, but a runner just the same). I never would have thought that I could do this... I thought that same thing before my half marathon, before my 25k and before the 30k. I have had pain like I've never experienced before, and conversation and accountability that I can never express enough gratitude for.

So on Sunday, I will run, not because I have to or because I have something to prove, but because I can and I want to run the race marked out for me.

I still say you're crazy. You, and everyone else out there.

But that's just me.
