Dream list #70

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Philippians 4:13

13.1 miles. 
I seriously doubted that I'd ever be able to do it.... but I did!

I did a 10 week training schedule.
When I came up to week 5, I got to mile 10 and decided to push myself and run the extra 3.1 miles..... and be done instead of going on for 5 more weeks.
I had been trying to do this for so long but it seemed like there were so many things that came up, trying to stop me from this goal. I was sick for a week in the middle of training so I had to start over. And during harvest there was simply not enough time to get the amount of miles in that I needed, so I had to start over then as well.
It didn't help that every time I had to stop, I would procrastinate in getting started again.
But I did it, and it is DONE!!

Was it worth it??
YES! There is something special about setting a goal for yourself and then meeting that goal. It is a feeling that can't be described and one that everyone should experience!

Was if fun??

Every time I would get near the middle of a run I would wonder why on EARTH I was doing this, And I would complain to myself the entire way. But as soon as I was done, I would say to myself "That wasn't so bad! I can't wait to do it again!" 

So it was fun.... afterwards.

(Ya... I know I'm weird :)

Will I do it again??
I may in the future. Right now we are working on flooding our rink, and I can't see myself playing hockey AND running AND finding enough hours in the day to do everything else that needs to be done in one day. But once hockey season is done, I hope to get back into running again.

As I told you before that there is a story behind all of these miles. And I believe that I'm about ready to start telling you all that story.
Not just for entertainment sake, but rather in the hopes that God will use it to make an impact in someone else's life.
So be watching for upcoming posts!
