Down the road I go...

Partial reality is, it's taken me this long since Saturday's 10 mile run to shuffle across the floor to my laptop to post something new on my blog. OK, I said partial reality - but reality is, I'm still shuffling. If I never see Eden Park Drive again in this lifetime, I will not die feeling cheated one bit. The "no fear" motto left my soul at about 9 miles. I simply looked up and said, "God, if I'm going to finish this today, I need you to give me something, anything". He did. I finished, tears and all, but I finished. I was basically disappointed in my time and how I felt at only 10 miles. 10 is still not half of 26. But, it's actually the longest distance I've done, so there is an achievement! I am my own worst enemy. My mind got the best of me on Saturday while my legs and feet were feeling the results of hills, pounding, and chilly weather. 143 minutes. 41 degrees. Not great numbers but I have to remind myself that (1) no hills at Disney, (2) I still have 89 days to get stronger - mentally and physically, and (3) I'm not alone.

And I will lift my hands

For You are who You are

No matter where I am

Every tear I've cried

You hold in Your hand

You never left my side

And though my heart is torn

I will praise You in this storm
