Next Group Run - May 10th

Our next group run is scheduled for May 10th.


The registration opened today for the Marine Corps Marathon. I thought for sure that I would run it again this year, but I think I've decided to skip it and run 2 marathons (Baltimore & Richmond) instead. Am I insane? What is this sickness? I have a friend who is training for her first marathon this fall (Chicago). I already told her that she'll be hooked and want to run another. The whole time I was training for the Marine Corps last year, which was my first, I thought, "run one and done!" While I was running it, I thought "I'll definitely run another marathon."


One of the reasons I love being signed up for a marathon, or any race for that matter, is that it gives me incentive to train. It's the power of having a goal set before you. In the other Life Group that I am a part of (Got Life? - meets Wednesdays at 7:15, awesome group!), we are studying Acts. This week we are focusing on Acts 20-21 which includes the great passage from Paul (20:24), "I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me - the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace." Wow. talk about positive goal setting! I'm challenged to examine the course my life is on.
