Take heart and your direction to turn it over to God is a great plan. I think what works for me is to turn it over to HIM and then get outside of myself. You are great at this-and if you're not, give me a call.Ramblin' Onhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07979570920273147458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8790504259982647142.post-14406451735583046732011-02-11T23:30:12.450-08:002011-02-11T23:30:12.450-08:00I think when running train, we think of the BIG ra...I think when running train, we think of the BIG races. The ones that people know by first name only. Eugene, Boston, Badwater...<br /><br />They're right up there with Oprah, Madonna, Elvis.<br /><br />Because when we say we're training for the Spokane marathon, people are like "what?"<br />Sometimes we can feel we're not legitimate or "enough" unless we're doing something big. So we knock ourselves out to do it, not realizing that a marathon - any marathon - is a huge thing.<br /><br />Christ is enough. If you NEVER ran again. Never ran another mile....He'd still be enough. He'd still love you the same. Though other people may be disappointed and say 'its such a shame' He would still love you.<br /><br />You are more than the races you've run, or the miles on your shoes.<br />So run a race because its FUN, and because its a way to fellowship and bond with others, because its a goal and a personal challenge. <br /><br />And those purposes can be met with smaller, obscure, local races just as much as with the Big Kahunas. :-)<br /><br />Stay thirsty! You're an inspiration!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05337969685846154638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8790504259982647142.post-23485389199684777782011-02-10T09:54:40.297-08:002011-02-10T09:54:40.297-08:00Thank you for your sweet (slightly exaggerated) de...Thank you for your sweet (slightly exaggerated) description of me! Remember, you are the one that got me running--what a gift.<br /><br />I didn't realize you had been battling with some personal "stuff" lately--let's meet up for a run--chat it out.<br /><br />I remember during our marathon #1 training when you said, "I don't want to forget why I run--for the enjoyment--I don't want it to be a chore."-or something to that affect. I thought that served as a great reminder throughout training. Run b/c you love it. <br /><br />This verse truly speaks to me--God doesn't measure us like we do ourselves. We are weak--as much as it pains us to admit--but that allows us to rely ever more on His strength.<br /><br />Thinking of you Brunette Pony!Jess @ Blonde Ponytailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01241567668546859036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8790504259982647142.post-48700613253909234892011-02-10T09:08:49.909-08:002011-02-10T09:08:49.909-08:00Thanks for posting that verse!

You are STRONG, physically, mentally and spiritually.. Believe in yourself and let your SPARK (see Blog today) shine.. Pray about it and I know the answer will come to you.. <br /><br />And hey you have not done a WA Marathon yet, so it would add to your overall State count..<br /><br />I am not saying what you should do, but as your Coach I KNOW that you need to be excited for what is to come..<br /><br />If you and Jess train together we can merge your plans so you match.. Just a thought..<br /><br />Love ya!!- Mel (AKA Coach)Mel -Tall Mom on the Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03777751504773574393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8790504259982647142.post-35971857312379781852011-02-10T08:57:44.902-08:002011-02-10T08:57:44.902-08:00I love this verse!
