Training Numero Uno...

Feeling the "I Can't"
I began the first training April 28th, 2010. I'm so glad this training program is gradual, or I might collapse from exhaustion. Heck, even this simple introduction to let my body adjust was tough, and required all I had to keep going. Then something amazing happened...

As I was jogging the 5th one minute jog of the 8 total, I began to chant to myself a Bible Verse I'd heard numerous times. It became something that I used to focus myself and push myself with each time I heard "I Can't" pop into my head. The verse can be found at the top of the blog under the title.

When I got home after a nice cool-down walk that lasted about 5 minutes or more, I hopped in the shower. It was then I began to connect the verses in the Bible written by Paul about "running the race marked for us", and the journey I was just beginning. As such, I've decided to do something else with this blog, this journey, this growth experience...

I'm going to write on the off-days, which are every other day plus one extra day after the third training jog/run, about "running the race marked for us" and my own journey and training to run that race to my fullest. I hope you will join me as I push myself through this journey, and I ask that you not only hold me accountable but keep me pressing on.

Thank you in advance!
