New Season and New Challanges

July 2, 2011

"Trust the Lord with all your heart and don't depend on your own understanding. Remember the Lord in all you do and he will give you successes." Proverbs 3:5-7.

Well it's that time again to start the training season for 2011-2012. As the reading above states we can't have a relationship with God if we only trust him part time. We we trust God and open our hearts completly, he will make himself known to us in amazing ways.

"Those who know the Lord trust him, because he will not leave those who come to him." Psalm 9:10

This verse says it all. Part of knowing the Lord is reading the bible and praying everyday. I have figured out over the last 2 years that doing these things in the morning before I start my day, gives me a peace and confidence that NOTHING can get in my way when trying to accomplish something. My job going forward in a lot of ways is to spread this message to all my friends and family.

Running has been tough because we have had triple digit tempertures for the last two weeks. I'm a little out of shape but I know that will change over the next six weeks as I begin to prepare for 10 Miles for Texas in October. This is a big season for me as I am planning on running Houston in January and the 1st Annual Woodlands Marathon six weeks later. In order to accomplish this goal there are three things I would like to do in order to complete this successfully. First, I need to pay strict attention to my diet by eating more fruits and vegetables and protein. Second, I would like to incorporate some strength training on my off days and finally I really need to follow the training schedule more closely.

I think if I do all those things than I will complete this goal. Hopefully the other thing I will do is keep my blog up to date as well.
