Happy Sunday Runday all you readers out there! I know this is a late Sunday post but honestly I have just been lazy all day. It has been a weekend full of wonderful relaxation, good people, fun jaunts into the city, and a lot of the Lord’s love.
Due to the holiday tomorrow, a late night on Friday, and a bit of a cold, I pushed my long run for the week to tomorrow morning, so even my exercise has been a bit lazy too! Zumba and a 2 mile run on Saturday and a leisurely 4.5 miles out today!
Talking with my dad on the phone today, I was telling him about the 20 miler I hope to accomplish next weekend (which I just remembered I am visiting Hershey park on Saturday, so it may be on Friday) anyways… I was telling him about it and the number just rolled off my tongue: no fear, no worry, just the statement of the run I would be undertaking next weekend.
20 miles 4 months ago seemed COMPLETELY unprobable and impossible BUT with God’s strength, slow training, and patience with myself, it no longer seems like a big deal.
I had read a quote when I started marathon training, and today it hit me as truth.
I no longer wonder if I will or if I can I know my body can and will. And that is so cool and awesome!
Thank the Lord for no injuries, slow training, and his protection over this entire process!
Thanks for the inspiration, Melanie! But, 4.5 miles is leisurely?! 😉
