A quote I heard last night:
"Better to be with Jesus in over your head in the deep water, than to sit comfortably on the safe shore!"
I think I will just have to trust this as I seem to get myself in over my head time and time again. Another of my favorite quotes is "Bite off more than you can chew, then chew it!" I can't recall her name at the moment, but she is a business woman in the US. This is the quote which got me to sign up for my first half marathon. After I signed up for my first half clinic I did feel over my head, now I'm feeling that again. I must enjoy it, I keep doing it to myself.
I find that I need something to motivate me, if I sign up for an event then I need to train, if there is no event there is no goal, there is no need to train. I have goals, a reason to train, a need to get in over my head. Looking forward to this month as I am looking forward to my first marathon. I will hold on dearly to some scripture as I go though.
But tomorrow is another day. Actually tomorrow is Sunday and I am excited about running another half marathon. This one I get to run with my husband, it is his first and I hope I can keep up. He just started running these last 6 months and has been doing really well. Previously he hasn't been able to run at all as his knees would usually give out after about 10 feet, so with the new stride as a barefooter he has trained for and will run his first half tomorrow. Lucky us, my running partner has girls old enough to babysit, and so we are getting the opportunity to run together. We have done a 5km, a 10km and this will be our first half! I am truly blessed!
Have a great weekend.
