July 3, 2009 Taking a Break

"When you pray, you should go into your room and close the door and pray to your father who cannot be seen. Your father can see what is done in secret, and he will reward you." Matthew 6:6

Praying

This is so true. Every morning before I do anything I make it a point to read the bible and pray. Early in the morning is so nice because the house is quiet, there are no tv's just quiet.

What's really cool is in the morning when I'm driving to work I usually see the sun rising. Lately the sun rises have been so beautiful. It's at that point you realize that the picture in the sky is God showing you his power and beauty. Since I have re-started my relationship with him everyday he shows me these moments. It is so awesome!!

Running

So far this week has been pretty good. The heat continues to be a factor but otherwise I'm enjoying my workout. How connect God to my running is always lifts me up when I need it. On Tuesday that was the case. I was kind of down and really not looking forward to my track workout. So I prayed about that and asked him to help feel strong, stay cool and pain free. Well, as usual that prayer came true because I ended up doing 12x400 at pretty much the same pace (1:46) it was truely amazing!! I really didn't think beforehand I could do that many. So I'm feeling pretty good right now. I should take tomorrow off but I'm enjoying my running so much I don't know if I want to. The cool thing about running early in the morning is it is not super hot so I can get a good distance run in.

Next week Fit starts so I'm excited. Training for Houston will officially begin on July 11th.
