I guess there have been a few nerve racking "night before's" in my life
- night before wedding
- night before test results after chemo
- night before Rhys was born (although that one was a few long nights)
The night before my first half marathon seems to be right up there. nervous and excited. so many friends have supported me in this cause- can't really quit now. last min training tips from my brother- like 10 of them. haha. culminates into one long run and test of my mental, physical and spiritual will. one thing my co worker Andrew tells me- trust your training. trust your training
one lesson that this journey has re-taught me is that in all things, you must be intentional. In training, work, friendships, relationships, my marriage- it doesn't work by luck or chance. but it takes effort. about to hit the big 40 this year- some have asked if this running thing is about midlife crisis and wouldn't it be just easier to get a camero or mustang or I guess a souped up Acura in my case? Well. it's for the kids and running with over 100 people devoted to the same cause at tenth church is inspiring. having my brother beside me brings back nostalgia from our childhood (mock Tour de France on our bikes in the church parking lot )
ok lofty goals- finish the run and don't die. can't wait for that ice cold coke at the finish line
oh yeah. skipping church tomorrow. inability to walk may be a good excuse.
I can do all things through him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13
now I know God doesn't generally work on Sunday's. but... gonna need him to tomorrow. OT.
see you on the other side...of the finish line
