First of all, before the camera,
before the fans, cheering you on…
training.
Day in and day out, time spent conditioning your body.
Not many people see it, but when your foot crosses over that 5 mile line and your stride stays strong and wide…it’s plain to see…
that one has trained…

the race day comes...
... the horn blows...
and your off!
It's a long way to the finish line, 13.1 miles to be exact.
Just run one mile at a time.
The key element is your mental attitude
With the finish line in your sights....
...the strength to push
harder comes.
"But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God." Act20:24
Paula has a beautiful smile on her face the WHOLE time! (I miss Paula!) There has to be some lesson in that, Whitney. Joe looks like he's working a little harder--but I'd probably have a major grimace on my face if I tried running that far. Thanks for the peek, and just so you know, I put your blog on my home page so I don't miss any! Blessings!
