So, when I first started training Cheryl mentioned her run was 6 miles and I had to say When I get to 6 miles you will have to pinch me cause I didn't believe I would ever tell someone I ran 6 miles today. Well.................Today I ran 7 miles. It was a good run. I stopped at some hills and at the 4.1 mile water break, but otherwise felt good! The weather was perfect. I am super excited to finally have cooler temps. I KNOW that's going to make a huge difference. It did today.
Alex pointed out that today we ran more than half of a half marathon. WOW! I can't wait to see that finish line!
Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them ... Mark 11:24. Prayer indeed works! I pray before going to bed and in the morning and during the day as I need it, but I always pray before my run and ask for God to guide me through my run and push my body along. I know I wouldn't be where I am without HIM. As I am running, I remember how blessed I am that I can use my legs and it's helps to get over some of my weaknesses.
Best of luck on your goal! I am so proud of you. Not sure if I have the strength. I'll be checking up on you...
