This is my inspiration. :)
I want to start each day with this mindset. Purpose is everything. My purpose is to glorify God and I screw that up so much, but thankfully I have HIS grace to cover all my slip ups, mistakes, and rebellion.
Overall, I need to be more disciplined spiritually and physically. Running helps me focus and clear my head so I can get rid of all my anxiety and worries and turn them over to God.
I started the Couch to 5K program 4 weeks ago. I'm supposed to be walking 5/jogging 9/walking 5, but usually I feel like I can keep going so I do. I figure there's no point in stopping if I am feeling fine and can go farther. As of yesterday I walked 3 min and then jogged 21 min. That's the longest I have jogged without a break :) Plus, it was my personal best pacing at 12.39 mph. Whew it feels so good!
Once again, I cannot believe that I went from barely making it 30 seconds at the beginning of May to running 21 minutes at a time within one month!!! Amazing how God made our bodies to run and exercise! There are so many reasons why I am loving running...it gives me quiet time to think, pray, enjoy nature and it helps me de-stress while improving my health!
It's also really encouraging because many of my friends and colleagues are getting inspired to start a 5K program because if I can do it, anyone can!
