Why I run...

I don't think I've ever given a real reason for me running. For a while I was just saying its about will power and that much is true. During my run today I realized that this run is strengthening my will power for the arduous road ahead. So many times I want to give up and walk back home or to the beginning of the run. It would feel so nice to just give it up and just chill in the house. But I made the commitment and I will see it through. This is the attitude that I have to adopt in other areas of my life as well. The run will hurt and wear me out, but by putting my mind to it, I will be able to complete it. Just as the path before me will wear me out, I will focus on my goals (getting back in school, moving out, paying off debt, etc.) to achieve the goals I have set for myself.

'I can do all things possible through Christ who strengthens me.'
Philippians 4:13
