Running Together Keeps You Connected
Knocked out another #GRMarathon training run with my running partner. Glad to be back together for the Thursday runs. “If you want to run fast run alone. If you want to run far run in community.” #HWI #Run4Water
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
Another Thursday Training Run, Caught Up In Conversation
Nice to be back at the Thursday training runs with my running partner. #HWI #GRMarathon #Run4Water
Changing Focus And Changing Pace
I expected to have a better overall average time given my training plan had me doing high intensity sprints. It’s OK though as my times were faster than my plan actually called for. The 2nd half of my run was really a little bit of a wake up call on where my focus has been lately. Life has been more about me lately and I’ve been missing, or straight up ignoring the needs of people around me. I may be a bit hard on myself but I’m one that always feels called to do better and not let myself just coast through life. Christ is the model of how even though we may be working on our personal calling our focus needs to be on…
Early Morning 13.1 Mile Training Run at Johnson Park
Another half marathon in the books with my running partner. Felt great to be out there on the trails again. #HWI #GRMarathon #Run4Water Walker, Michigan, United States of America
What Does A Speed And Endurance Test Run Get You?
No training with my running partner this morning as he is doing a 5k this evening. Not a huge problem since I was needing to do a short speed & endurance test run this morning. We’ll see how it affects the rest of the training plan. Unfortunately, these sorts of runs end up resulting in me focusing only on the run and not much else. Since I got up at the normal training run time I should have some extra non-running quiet time to morning. #HWI #GRMarathon #Run4Water
