Test Day and Resurrection Sunday

Tomorrow is a test...8am with 2 friends that ran the Around the Bay in 2:30...23 kms. Can I do it? I think so - I am seeing if I can run with them for a spring half because if I don't run well tomorrow I am going to be upset :( I hope I am all better because it's a long way to walk home :)
Yoga makes me happy :) Had a great hour session so hoping for good things tomorrow. Remember the cross today.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

24 km turned into a decent 10 km...

24 km with my group turned into 10km with myself as I take some time to get used to my superfeet and heal my knee. It worked out great so far. Tomorrow I am attempting a long run on my own - most likely a 20 km. Well 2 10kms in a loop around my house. Hoping to be back up to working speed. Knowing that God is the one that heals us has been a source of faith for me. I also am sitting on some job offers so I am hoping for some clarity tomorrow on that through my run.

Sunday Long Run

I am attempting Sundays long run with my new Superfeet insoles...24kms...if this doesn't work I have no clue what will...

Sunday Long Run

Wow today was a fantastic day to venture out with 21 other fellow runners for my first long run as a part of this new running group I joined. As you know I just started running in May 2009 so this is my first winter running...and I decided I needed back up. I had a great experience running all summer up to 10 kms on my own. In September God orchestrated a divine meeting with a fellow runner in my town to train with as I had it on my heart to run a half marathon November 1, 2009. We met up about 1-2 times a week for long runs mostly and I trained the other 1-2 times on my own. This worked out well for both of us and I am especially proud of my half marathon time of 1:52 but now that it's chilly out I am still running with my friend 1-2 times a week but really find it hard to run on my own. At the half marathon finish I ran into a family friend who ran a running group near where I live and suggested coming out. They run twice a week together - just what I need! I have some pretty heavy goals for a newbie this year so this is just what I need. Today was a hilly 18kms in -12 with a slight wind and half sun half cloud. Trying to find a person to run with has been a challenge. I ran Tuesday with someone then got placed with a person they thought was more my pace today and they are suggesting Tuesday another person. That's fine by me as I finished very strong today I feel I can step up more. After all I want these runs to count in my training process. I really enjoyed running and talking - it made time go by a lot quicker but I did miss my usual time of prayer and listening to Hillsong. I will make a point of taking time for myself to focus on the One who made me more next run. After all is the the Beginning and End - the Author of my Life!
