Marathon Training
So I did it. I pulled the trigger and am going to be running Grandma’s Marathon June 20th. Training has been going okay. I get to the end of the long runs and feel exhausted. Tomorrow is 15. Going to try a run-walk method to see how that works. I would love to be able to run the whole thing and be at about a 9 minute/mile pace, but the way it’s gone, I can’t keep that up.
I find that I’m extremely grateful to finish each run upright. Probably no coincidence that I just came across Isiah 40 in my devotions “Even youth grow tired & weary; even young men stumble and fall. But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
Our God is a big God! He is capable to create everything. He is able to move mountains. I know he is able to have me finish a marathon. The hard work I will continue to put in, having my faith in Him every step, will get me to that finish line June 20th.
