Through out my life and interest in running I have had an occasional running buddy. They have come and gone and changed along the road of life. There is however a constant Friend who I have continually relied upon to be there with me as I run. And He is. Jesus is my constant running Friend and I am grateful for His presence with me.
Today as I ran I set before Him a myriad of things that were on my mind. To run and pray with my Friend is like finding the fountain of youth. I always return with a sense of peace and confidence knowing that my life is truly in His secure hands. I am encouraged and energized to take on the challenges, the duties and responsibilities, the missions and callings, the known and unknown that are all a part of the package of life.
I do have a wonderful Friend in Jesus and there is indeed no better running buddy than Him! Song of Solomon 1:4 is one of my life verses. It says, "Draw me after you and let us run together!" And so my Friend draws me and off we go, on a run together.

I was excited to "run" across your blog! I too am a runner - or at least trying to be - and a Christian. I wish you a great running year, and hope to run across your blog again sometime!
