The reality is I am not a very patient person. And the sort of training plan I am following looks like 22 weeks of training in patience. I guess that's what running the longer distance will be about for me. Patience. Endurance. Perseverance. All of that should be good for me!
I have now added an exercise ticker at the bottom of the blog, just a little lady who is chugging along to a 700 mile goal. I can't even think about how far that seems right now, though I think it is a realistic goal for me this year, Lord-willing, if I stay healthy (and don't suddenly begin to hate running). I'll try to keep it updated, and if you think of it you can pray for me along the way. Patience. Endurance. Perserverance. And most of all, dependence on God in this and all that I try to do!
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
(Hebrews 12:1-2 ESV)

Will pray for those things, and that you don't decide that you hate running.
