A Run Focusing On The Physical Needs Of Others
Had a sluggish start this morning, but I pushed myself and got things improved my the end of my run. I did miss most of the rain, just got caught in some sprinkles during the last quarter mile. Most of my focus though was on those I know that have physical needs, including our Enable The Children sponsored child. It seems that the physical needs in our world almost match that of the spiritual need. And yet we see time and again that God uses those physical needs to bring people into relationship with Him. Most of need a jolt every now and then to help us remember what’s most important in this life here. #HWI #ETC #EnableTheChildren #GRMarathon #Run4Water #WhyIRun
Would You Rather…Run In 90 Degree Heat Or A Foot Of Snow?
There wasn’t a foot of snow this morning, it was probably more like 6 inches, but it still made for a tough go of it as you still need good traction to move. I almost wiped out on a slick spots in the Family Faire parking lot towards the end of my run. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus In regards to “would you rather”, my preference is winter running over hot summer running any day. It’s significantly easier getting yourself warmed up by running than it is to get cooled down. Then again it does matter what weather conditions you might expect for any race you plan on running. Given I’ll be running the Groundhog Marathon at the beginning of February the more terrible winter runs…

Enjoying Sunlight And Worship Music On My Saturday Long Run
Being able to start my run later on a Saturday morning is a nice change from my early morning runs during the week. I actually get to enjoy some sunlight part way through my run. I still usually start when it’s dark so I still don the headlamp. Since today was a long “slow” run I just put on the worship music and let my body keep the pace it was comfortable doing, well for the most part. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun
Battling The Chunky Snow Covered Sidewalks
Had a short easy run this morning, except for the snowplow covered sidewalks. I’m thankful for those that actually got out and cleared their sidewalks. Listening to worship music while I ran was good to my mind focused on why I run. Today is #GivingTuesday and there are matching funds available when giving to #HWI so I hope many take advantage of the opportunity to double their giving. Also, I did register for the #GroundhogDayMarathon so I’d love to have the support of people to help me reach that final $2000 goal. I only have $300 left to go. Six people could knock that out easily at $50 each. #Run4Water #WhyIRun Donate to Wells in Africa – https://timn.me/2t9D4ne
First Hill Training Run Of 2019
Things warmed up a little this morning. I got a little bit of a later start today. I had a hard time sleeping last night, perhaps because of all the holiday eating yesterday. Still had a good run in though. I even tackled some hill training. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus
