Starting Off Another Week With A 4 Mile Run, And Feeling Good

It was hard to get up this morning but after getting out the door, and getting some time in, I finished my run and actually felt good both physically and mentally. It’s the first run in a long time that I could say I felt good when I was done, and on top of that I felt good about my time/distance/pace.

I’m really trying to focus on just getting some running time in, and soon I’ll start my 25K or marathon training. I haven’t decided yet what my race plans are going to be. I know that I can’t manage a full marathon and a 25k all in one week. My choice is to either only do the half marathon followed by the 25K or defer the 25K to yet another year. I was hoping to really challenge myself to get back on track with my running by doing another full marathon. However, maybe this is God’s way of telling me that I need to change my focus.

    A Nice Sunny Saturday Run

    It was nice to get out just when the sun first came up for my Saturday run, and the temperature was just right too. It’s not too often I get to run in the daylight. There was a bit more people out at that time, than my normal 4-5am, so I had to switch sides of the street I was running on a couple of times. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun Even though things seems tough at times with what we are dealing with I still don’t see it being as nearly as tough as what many in Sierra Leone face every day. In Sierra Leone there are few that could be working from home.

    Battling The Cold And Wind

    It was a tough early morning training run today. I can definitely tell that I haven’t eating well and getting enough sleep lately. I really need to reevaluate what I’m doing outside of my training runs if I’m going to even hope to complete another marathon. I enjoyed the worship time I had, which was one the major things keeping me going. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus

    Kicking Things Up A Notch

    Today my training run was kicked up a notch with some interval speed work. It definitely tested how recovered I am from the marathon. It’s been awhile since I have done any high intensity runs of substantial length. These sorts of runs do make it hard to spend a lot of time focusing on prayer unfortunately. It did however bring to mind #WhyIRun during some of the intense intervals and help to keep me pushing on. #HWI #Run4Water Donate to Clean Water – https://timn.me/2t9D4ne

    Why Do I Run? No, Really, Why Do I Run?

    For some time now I’ve struggled with continuing to post my runs. I used to tell myself that I was trying to bring awareness to the need for clean water in the world, especially to our brothers and sisters in Sierra Leone, Africa. I feel like in the last few months I’ve lost sight of that, or if I’m really honest, it’s because I don’t think anyone else cares about that anymore. everything that has been going on with the pandemic, and now with the needed focus on racial injustice, I feel like people have forgotten about all the needs that existed before. The needs in our world are so many and we can’t all focus on all of them but we need some of…

    Who’s Your Best Friend?

    When you simply hang out together … when you carve out time for your most important relationship… when you make a point of sharing the little day-to-day moments… the results of that in your marriage are profound. – Biblical Secrets to a Happy Marriage This morning during my devotions time I was challenged with how I think about my wife. I’d heard other couples talking about their spouse being their best friend but I’d never really given it much thought myself and sort thought friends were in a different group than my wife. My best friend was a guy that I have served with in ministry for years and was the best man in my wedding. However if there is anyone in my life that should…
