A Worshipful Run

Well, I did not get in my long run yesterday due to a last minute decision to have company over. So, I had to get things in order as well as do some cooking. It was a good time of fellowship with dear friends.

So, today I got in my long run. I ran 7 miles and it felt much better than I thought it was going to. It is late now as I blog and I'm sorry to say I am feeling a sore throat coming on. I pray for a good nights sleep and rest tomorrow and perhaps I can shake it.

During my 7 miles I listened to music on my wonderful ipod and entered into such a spirit of worship I felt like running with my hands lifted up in the air! At times I also felt like closing my eyes to fix my mind solely on Christ enthroned, but you just can't do that when you're on a run! I felt very encouraged to make the 7 miles and feel hopeful to continue to scale to the summit of 26.2 little by little. In the back of my mind I have the half marathon done for sure, it's just the next 13.1 miles I'm unsure about. I remain hopeful and have not decided to not go for the big one. I'm taking it a day at a time and a prayer at a time.

What a great time of worship. What a great run. What a worshipful run!
