God willing, I will run until the end.
Personal:
I run with God. I use my running time to contemplate, to pray and to listen for His call. I'm married to a non-runner, but a supportive one, and we have four children.
When I returned home, I had something bright green floating on the surface of my eye. It was small and I thought it might be a bit of grass. When I got it out, I think it was actually some sort of larvae. But I'll try not to think about that too much.
Took a day off today, so ran in the mid morning. The run was pretty good (8:30 AP), but I had to stop once because of cramping (not due to speed), once when I found a bathroom, and then once right before mile 8 because I was afraid I was going to mess myself. I didn't. Phew.
