Training

After much deliberation in my head and so forth, I have decided to embark upon a task greater than anything I've ever done!! That is to train for the Los Angeles Marathon...yes people 26.2 miles (I believe). I'm excited about stepping out of my comfort zone and exploring health, body, and spirituality.

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

WEEK 1
Sunday was the first day...6:30 a.m. LORD HAVE MERCY!! But there I was in line with mostly new faces and wondering what their motivation for being up this early to train was!! So we ran a mile, got our times and were grouped...I was wasted after only a mile!!! Realizing that the late night dinner with ice cream was probably not a good idea! During the week you have "homework" and I'm proud to say that I've stayed with it so far and conquered some small feats already...God is good!! Plus I think I've recruited some more people to join me out there next Sunday...YEAH!!!!

LESSONS:
-Definite correlation between what you put in your body and performance.
-God places people in your life to motivate and prepare you for such a time as this!
