No run today, I guess I just didn't get around to it.. Most of the day was spent studying some scripture, working on my project. I was listening on the radio to something about the "leftovers" that God leaves us in life. If we can't make use and be thankful for what we have then how are we supposed to be ready for when God decides to do something really big in our lives? The impressions I received on this are deeper in meaning than I'm able or even willing to express here. I will say it changed my thinking about this Saturday's race. I won't be there to beat the other man for the prize or the trophy this time. Instead I'm going to be there to finish the "leftovers". And I'm going to enjoy every last painful minute of it.

Yes. "The first shall be last and the last shall be first." The only thing I'd like to add is that what God has prepared for you is not "leftovers", but the most blessed gift of all in eternal life. I struggle because I think God has left me out in the cold, but the reality is He is close and doing what is best for me even though my sinful body rebels. He cares for you just as a Father does his own child. Keep up the good work.

You've been doing lots of introspection lately. I think that is good for us to do on a regular basis.

You definitely have a God given gift. I have no idea what it would be like to run as an elite runner or how hard the race must be when you have to race it every second. It would be an interesting experience to try.

Then again, elite runners don't know the mental struggles that come with being a back of the pack'er.

Either way - I will be cheering you on mentally on Saturday. If it would help to have a cheering person at a particular point on the course, let me know and I will come out and support you.
