It was awesome! When I am able to see things through my father's eyes, I am so blessed and encouraged and loved! Walking this road to health and fitness has had it's physical, mental and spiritual battles....to say the least.
One of them was to see all the runner's doing the 10k, and 5k and just think that we aren't "real runners" we' re just "wannabes" BUT NO! Nin and I have poured our HEARTS out this WHOLE YEAR working, persevering, through rain, snow, sickness, discouragement, physical pain(and there's been lots of that!) schedules and time......we did it! It wasn't about running the "2KM" it was that we didn't give up and we will KEEP GOING! All our lives growing up, we were never active. we were the family that sat on the couch and ate junk food all day. If we did do anything active it was only cause we HAD to not EVER cause we WANTED to!
Next year, Nin and I will be running the 5 k and I believe that someday, I will run a marathon. The journey isn't over, and it doesn't end here...... And like I said, it's not about "the marathon" it's about God planting and watering seeds of love and encouragement into my spirit. It's about faith, trust and hope. When I really truly reflect on the whole thing.....it's so barely physical at all (even tho there are GREAT benefits to running!) I hope and pray that God is glorified by me not giving up. I NEVER in my wildest dreams would have thought that me and nin would be in a city run! Here are my little cheerleaders and my biggest fans!

" it's about God planting and watering seeds of love and encouragement into my spirit. It's about faith, trust and hope..."
Amen to that.
These past 2.5 months have been a spiritual awakening for me as far as letting God into my physical endeavors. It has been amazing to see what I can do because of Him.
I'm hoping to someday come along one of your marathons!!!
Keep up the awesome work!!!
Big hugs!!
