Running Update

ByLisi

Today I completed another 5K run! I beat my old time by a lot; I’m so proud. I’m definitely continuing to prepare for the half-marathon next year. I can’t believe my progress, but I’m happy for sure! Yay!

I’m learning through this preparation that we must continue to challenge ourselves to grow in many areas of our lives; I don’t think that there should be a time where we aren’t looking to better ourselves & work to make ourselves into better people. Growth is a necessity in life. God continues to prepare us & to work within us to make us into the people that He wants us to be.

Never did I think I would take up running (I’m more into aerobics, light weight lifting, Zumba, the elliptical machine, etc.), so running was outside of my element—but I’m doing well in it & enjoying the journey & challenges it presents! Sometimes it’s good for us to think outside-of-the-boxes that we put ourselves in. You never know what you can do unless you try.

Until next time.

Blessings,

Running Update

I few weeks ago, I posted about my friend & I training for a half-marathon next year. I must admit that I haven’t been on a strict training schedule these past few weeks. My schedule has been hectic & busy, but I’m really working towards getting that “me” time in.

However, I do have a few upcoming 5Ks and other runs/walks coming up. I’m excited about those. Also, I’ve been back in Zumba (gotta love Zumba!) & doing a lot of walking. I feel that everything will come together, but I’m still determined to get on track with everything. I definitely want to achieve the goal of running/walking the marathon next year.

I hope that you’ve set some goals for yourself as well 🙂 If you’ve gotten “off track” there’s still time to get back on; every day is another opportunity. Don’t let time pass you by & definitely remain encouraged!

I know that many of us set these goals at the beginning of each New Year, but they tend to fade around mid-February to March, but I definitely believe that goals can be made & set throughout the year; we mustn’t limit ourselves to the New Year only.

Just a few words of encouragement for you & me!

Until next time.
