We never realize how good life is until we feel like we’re dying. Ever walk up the stairs and feel like you’re out of breath? Ever go for a walk or exercise and feel out of breath? Honestly that is the worst part about running in life. I hate it when I run out of… Continue reading Dying Breath

Who Am I
Who are you? What is the first thing that comes to mind when I ask this? Is it your occupation that labels you? What happens if you lose your job, what are you then?

Living in the country where there are miles of fields, the wind has nowhere to go but straight - and hard!

What is Your Focus?
Christmas is almost here and what joy do we have to show for it? This year I have not been in the Christmas spirit and though I enjoyed shopping for gifts and listening to holiday music, something just seems to be missing. Am I the only one that feels this way? As I began thinking… Continue reading What is Your Focus?

“I Am Never Running Again”
Have you ever watched a hurdles race? To me that looks awful. Running straight forward is hard enough, but running and then jumping over fences throughout the race… no thank you. I sometimes just struggle picking my feet up high enough so that I don’t scrape my shoe across the pavement. But do you know… Continue reading “I Am Never Running Again”

Listen
This past Sunday I asked God what the topic for this week’s post should be. I instantly heard, “Listen.” Many times we love talking more than listening. Sometimes we have goals of “talk less, listen more,” or “be quick to hear and slow to speak.” But how often do we actually follow through with our… Continue reading Listen

Run the Mile You are In
Run the mile you’re in… I had seen it many times before but I don’t think I ever totally understood what it really meant. Jesus said not to think about tomorrow because it has its own problems. We are to only think about today. Today is the mile we are in. Take one moment at… Continue reading Run the Mile You are In

Challenged
Yesterday was my annual fall race. This year I did Jeff Polen's Music Fest 5k. I was hoping for a PR but did not realize the difficulty of this course. I knew there would be hills so I had ran the, apparently tiny, easy hills around us. I even did hill sprints, though I do… Continue reading Challenged

I was supposed to have this post published by noon on Monday, but I got so busy and tired that it has taken a few days to complete. Of late, I have really enjoyed listening to a homemaking podcast by Jamie Belmont. Though her talks are for wives and mothers, almost every one of them… Continue reading CrossRoads

Imagining the End
This days run was pretty good! Like normal, I woke up before the sun and spent time in prayer and Bible. I made coffee, washed dishes, stretched and then headed out. Earlier this week, while reading about the mental side of marathon training, one thing that stood out to me was when they said to… Continue reading Imagining the End
